Analysis of Aβ42 (4G8) (Human, Mouse, Rat) by ELISA (CAT#: STEM-MB-0682-LGZ)

Introduction

The misfolding of natively folded proteins into amyloid aggregates is associated with a broad range of pathology in humans. One of the most widely studied amyloidogenic peptides is the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide. The aggregation of this peptide is known to be associated with the progression of Alzheimer disease (AD), which is the most common cause of dementia today. Deposition of amyloid β (Aβ) in the brain is a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. There are two major isoforms of Aβ: the 42-residue Aβ42 and the 40-residue Aβ40. The only difference between Aβ42 and Aβ40 is that Aβ42 has two extra residues at the C-terminus. The amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's brains consist of mostly Aβ42 and some plaques contain only Aβ42, even though Aβ40 concentration is several-fold more than Aβ42.

Principle

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is an enzyme-labeled solid phase immunoassay technique. Its basic principle is to bind the antigen (or antibody) to the solid phase carrier, and the antigen (or antibody) and a certain enzyme link to enzyme labeled antigen (or antibody). During detection, the sample to be tested and the enzymic antigen (or antibody) react with the antigen (or antibody) on the solid phase carrier according to certain procedures, and then remove the unreacted part by washing method. After adding the substrate, the substrate is catalyzed by the enzyme on the solid phase carrier to produce colored substances. Through qualitative or quantitative detection of the amount of colored products, the content of the substance to be measured in the sample can be determined.

Applications

Alzheimer’s Disease, Neurobiology/Neurodegeneration
