General description

Amyloid beta peptides have been implicated in the etiology of Alzheimer’s disease. Amyloid beta 40 is the most prominent peptide and Amyloid beta 42 is the neurotoxic form. The Amyloid beta 42/40-ratio (AB ratio) has been reported as a better indicator of the Alzheimer pathology. Millipore’s High Sensitivity Human Amyloid β40 and Amyloid β42 ELISA kits are used for the measurement of Amyloid β40 and Amyloid β42 ELISA in cerebrospinal fluid, cell culture supernatants, primary neurons and plasma in a 96-well format.

Specificity

The Amyloid β40 ELISA (HS) uses monoclonal anti-Aβ antibodies with high selectivity for human Aβ. The capture antibody recognizes the C-terminal end of Amyloid β1-40, which causes a high selectivity for Aβ 40. The cross-reactivity of the used antibodies to other Amyloid peptides was tested by ELISA and BIACORE and shows no significant cross-reactivity to Aβ1-38, Aβ1-39, Aβ1-42, Aβ1-43 and Aβ1-44.

The Amyloid β42 ELISA (HS) uses monoclonal anti-Aβ antibodies with high selectivity for human Aβ.
