Description :Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Species :

Tag :

Expression System:

Sequence :

Specificity :Recognizes the amyloid beta protein

Cited Applications :WB, ELISA, IF, IHC

Cross Reactivity :Human and Mouse

Host / Isotype / Clone# :Rabbit, IgG

Immunogen :Amyloid beta antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide corresponding to the amino terminus (aa 1-14) of human beta amyloid conjugated to KLH using maleimide.

Purification :Affinity chromatography

Stability :Store at 4oC (add 0.1% NaN3) for several months, and at -20oC for longer periods. For optimal storage, aliquot target into smaller quantities after centrifugation and store at recommended temperature. For most favorable performance, avoid repeated handling and multiple freeze/thaw cycles.

Sample Data :Immunohistochemistical detection of Amyloid beta using Anti-Amyloid beta (1:200) on TG APP23 mouse brain cortex frozen sections.

Sample Data :Mouse Brain (Lane 1) and Mouse Spinal Cord (Lane 2) were run on a 4-20% gradient gel, and probed with Anti-Amyloid beta 1:1000

Sample Data :Human Heart (formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded) stained with Anti-Amyloid beta Antibody at 5 ug/ml

Scientific Background :Amyloid beta, often abbreviated as A-beta, is a protein that builds up in the brains of persons with Alzheimer's disease, collecting in clumps called plaques or senile plaques. While some researchers question whether beta amyloid is the cause of the dementia, most agree that it is involved in the disruption of thinking that is a hallmark of the disease. In some cases of familial Alzheimer's disease, mutations in genes for the proteins called the presenilins lead to increased production of amyloid. Researchers have been looking at how presenilin-1 in particular contributes to the excess buildup of beta amyloid. Presenilin-1 apparently acts to increase the activity of gamma-secretase, an enzyme that changes a normal protein (amyloid precursor protein or APP) into beta amyloid itself. Furthermore, presenilin-1 might be gamma-secretase.
