Mouse, Rat Amyloid-Beta 1-42 ELISA Kit
Sensitive and selective colorimetric ELISA kit to mouse ABeta (1-42) with sensitivity 0.05pg/ml and 1.56-100 pg/ml assay range. Highly selective to mouse and rat amyloid-beta 1-42 with minimal cross reactivity to human amyloid-beta 1-42 (see data below). The affinity purified monoclonal antibody absorbed on the plate and the affinity purified polyclonal-HRP detection antibody were generated to ABeta 1-42 .

Protocol Overview
Background on Amyloid-Beta (1-42)
Amyloid-beta (Abeta) is generated through amyloid precursor protein (APP) cleavage by certain 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 polyclonal HRP conjugated detection antibody in this kit are selective to Aβ42 with insignificant cross-reactivity to Aβ40. The antibodies have been generated to the N-terminus of Aβ42.
