IHC staining of the purified anti-β-Amyloid, 1-42 antibody (12F4) on the formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded brain tissues from normal human (left panel) and patients with Alzheimer’s disease (left panel) and normal human brain tissue (right panel). Following antigen retrieval using 70% formic acid for 20 min, the tissue was incubated overnight with 1µg/mL of the primary antibody at 4°C. BioLegend´s Ultra-Streptavidin (USA) HRP kit (Multi-Species, DAB, Cat. No. 929901) was used for detection followed by hematoxylin and bluing solution counterstaining, according to the protocol provided. The image was captured with a 40X objective. Scale bar: 50 µm. -
Direct ELISA of the purified anti-β-amyloid 1-42 (clone 12F4) antibody binding to the plate-immobilized human and rodent Aβ1-42, human Aβ1-40 peptides, and recombinant human APP751 protein. ELISA was performed by coating the wells with 100 ng of peptide or recombinant protein. The wells were then incubated with the primary antibody at 37°C for 45 minutes, followed by incubation with the horseradish peroxidase labeled goat anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody. TMB (3, 3', 5, 5' tetramethylbenzidine, Cat. No. 421501) was used as the detection system. -
Western blot of the purified anti-β-amyloid, 1-42 antibody (clone 12F4). Lane 1: Molecular weight marker; Lane 2: 50 ng of the human Aβ1-40 peptide; Lane 3: 50 ng of the Aβ1-42 peptide. The blot was incubated with 1 µg/ml of the primary antibody overnight at 4oC, followed by incubation with the HRP-labeled goat anti-mouse IgG (cat: 405306). Enhanced chemiluminescence was used as the detection system.
Amyloid beta (Aβ or Abeta) denotes peptides of 36–43 amino acids in length that are crucially involved in Alzheimer's disease as the main component of the amyloid plaques found in the brains of Alzheimer patients. The peptides result from the amyloid precursor protein (APP), which is cut by certain enzymes to yield Aβ. Aβ molecules can aggregate to form oligomers (known as "seeds") which are believed to be able to induce other Aβ molecules to also take the misfolded oligomeric form, leading to a chain reaction akin to a prion infection. The seeds or the resulting amyloid plaques are toxic to nerve cells. The other protein implicated in Alzheimer's disease, tau protein, also forms such prion-like misfolded oligomers, and there is some evidence that misfolded Aβ can induce tau to misfold.

Antigen Details
- Structure
- Amyloid precursor protein is a 770 amino acid protein with a molecular mass of ~100 kD. According to the UniProtKB database, APP (ID# P05067) has 11 isoforms (34 to ~90 kD) and the 770 form has been designated as the canonical form. Isoform APP695 is the predominant form expressed in neuronal tissue. Isoforms APP751 and APP770 are widely expressed in non-neuronal cells. Isoform APP751 is the most abundant form in T-lymphocytes. Aβ denotes peptides of 36-43 amino acids generated from cleavage of APP by secretases. Aβ has an apparent molecular mass of about 4 kD.
- Distribution
-
Tissue sources: Primarily nervous system, but also adipose tissue, intestine, muscle.
Distribution: cytosol, endosomes, nucleus, plasma membrane, extracellular, and golgi apparatus. - Function
- The normal function of Aβ is not well understood. Several potential physiological roles have been proposed, including: activation of kinase enzymes; protection against oxidative stress; regulation of cholesterol transport; transcription factor, and as an anti-microbial agent.
