Amyloid-Beta 1-40 ELISA Kit (Human Specificity; 96T)
Sensitive and selective colorimetric ELISA kit to ABeta (1-40) with assay range 7.81-500 pg/ml. Highly selective to amyloid-beta 1-40 with minimal cross reactivity to amyloid-beta 1-42 (see data below). The capture and detection antibodies are affinity purified monoclonals. The capture antibody recognizes Abeta1-40 near amino acid residue 40 whereas the detection antibody reacts with an epitope in the middle of the 1-40 peptide. A related ELISA kit to Abeta 1-42 is also available and can be purchased as a pair with this Abeta 1-40 Kit (see pull down menu).
Lead time estimate: 2 weeks
Specifications:
-
Complete ELISA kit in sandwich format. Colorimetric detection at 450 nm. 96T
-
The ELISA plate is coated with an affinity purified monoclonal antibody that recognizes amyloid-beta 1-40 at the C-terminus. A monoclonal antibody conjugated with HRP is used as the detection antibody that reacts with an epitope at approximately the middle of the Abeta1-40 peptide.
- The kit detects amyloid-beta 1-40 in EDTA-plasma, cerebrospinal fluids, serum, cell culture media or brain tissue extract.
- EIA buffer contains 1% BSA, 0.05% Tween 20 in PBS
-
Incubation times: Samples with plate; overnight. Detection antibody: 1 hr
- Assay range: 7.81 - 500 pg/ml
Protocol Overview
Background on Amyloid-Beta (1-40)
Amyloid-beta (Abeta) is generated through amyloid precursor protein (APP) cleavage by secretases. Beta-secretase cleaves an extracellular portion of APP and frees a soluble portion. Gamma-secretase cleaves APP within the transmembrane domain, creating amyloid-beta (Aβ) isoforms with lengths between 36-43 amino acid residues. The prevailing isoforms of Amyloid-Beta are Aβ40 and Aβ42. Aβ40 is the most widespread amyloid-Beta (Aβ) isoform, while Aβ42 is more fibrillogenic and is the principal Abeta peptide associated with Alzheimer’s disease. The affinity purified monoclonal antibody percolated on the ELISA plate and the affiniy purified monoclonal HRP conjugated detection antibody in this kit are selective to Aβ40 with insignificant cross-reactivity to Aβ42.
