MAB-M | Mouse human Abeta protein (3-10) region, oligomer-specific (clone 2D10, F6) Antibody

For short time storage please add sodium azide and srote at +4°C, For long time storage store lyophilized/reconstituted at -20°C; once reconstituted make aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, Please, remember to spin tubes briefly prior to opening them to avoid any losses that might occur from lyophilized material adhering to the cap or sides of the tubes

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease in the growing population of elderly people. A hallmark of AD is the accumulation of plaques in the brain of AD patients. The plaques predominantly consist of aggregates of amyloid-beta (Abeta), a peptide of 39-42 amino acids generated in vivo by specific, proteolytic cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein. Recent findings however suggest that smaller oligomeric forms of Abeta, formed in parallel to the amyloid plaques, excert the predominant tissue damaging effect.Specific identification of the oligomeric forms is as a consequence of great interest. Based on a recently published technique a highly oligomer-specific antibody (mAB-M), targeting Abeta oligomers while omitting reactivity towards the monomeric and fibrillar counterpart, has been developed.
