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 Human Amyloid β42 Brain ELISA kit is used for the measurement of Amyloid beta 42 in brain samples and for other tissue samples in a 96-well format. This assay is for research use only and appropriate for the in vitro detection of human Amyloid β42 peptides in brain samples from e.g. Guinea pig, transgenic hAmyloid mice and cell extracts.

Specificity

The Amyloid β42 ELISA uses monoclonal anti-Aβ antibodies with high selectivity for human Aβ. The capture antibody recognizes the C-terminal end of Amyloid β1-42, which causes a high selectivity for Aβ42. 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 highly conserved 14-3-3 proteins interact with key players involved in Parkinson's disease (PD) and other neurodegenerative disorders. We recently demonstrated that 14-3-3 phosphorylation is increased in PD models and that increased 14-3-3 phosphorylation reduces the neuroprotective effects of 14-3-3

Extensive evidence implicates GluN2B-containing NMDA receptors (GluN2B-NMDARs) in excitotoxic-insult-induced neurodegeneration and amyloid β (Aβ)-induced synaptic dysfunction. Therefore, inhibiting GluN2B-NMDARs would appear to be a potential therapeutic strategy to provide neuroprotection and improve cognitive function in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, there
