General description

Pan-amyloid-beta (1-40) is one of several functional peptides (39 to 43 amino acids in length) formed from proteolytic cleavage of the amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP) by the family of secretase enzymes. Although the APP protein is required for a number of biological functions, including axonal transport, cell adhesion, and transcription, the Ab 1-40 peptide has been studied mostly for its potential to aggregate and form neurite plaques, which may contribute to neurotoxicity, particularly in the context of neurodegenerative disease such as Alzheimer's. Previous studies have demonstrated that Anti-pan amyloid beta peptide (MOAB2), clone 6C3 detects specifically amyloid-beta, but not APP. Furthermore MOAB2 detects multiple amyloid-beta 40 and amyloid-beta 42 conformations including unaggregated, oligomeric and fibrillar. In a number of immunohistochemical and biochemical analyses, MOAB2 consistently detected intraneuronal amyloid-beta, but not APP, and showed greater specificity to amyloid-beta than 6E10. MOAB2 is therefore suitable for sensitive and specific detection of accumulating amyloid-beta peptides in Alzheimer's disease models.

Immunogen

Purified mouse monoclonal IgG2aλ in buffer containing 0.1 M Tris-Glycine (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl with 0.05% sodium azide.

Format: Purified

Quality

Evaluated by Immunohistochemistry in Alzheimer′s diseased human brain tissue.

Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution of this antibody detected Amyloid Beta Peptide in human Alzheimer′s diseased brain tissue.

Specificity

This antibody recognizes amyloid- and not APP (amyloid precursor protein). Specifically, clone 6C3 recognizes unaggregated, oligomeric, and fibrillar forms of A42 and A40.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at 2-8°C from date of receipt.

Target description

4 kDa calculated but could be larger since clone 6C3 recognizes unaggregated, oligomeric, and fibrillar forms of A42 and A40.
