Western blots of anti-Tau, 368-441 antibody (clone A16097F) and rat IgG2a isotype control. Lane 1: 20 µg of normal human brain lysate; Lane 2: 50 ng of recombinant human Tau ladder. The blots were incubated overnight at 4°C with 1 µg/ml of anti-Tau or rat IgG2a, followed by incubation with horseradish peroxidase labeled goat anti-rat IgG secondary antibody. Enhanced chemiluminescence was used as the detection system. -
IHC staining of anti-Tau, 368-441 antibody (clone A16097F) and rat IgG2a isotype control on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded Alzheimer’s disease brain tissue. Following antigen retrieval using Sodium Citrate, the tissues were incubated with 5.0 µg/ml of anti-Tau or rat IgG2a overnight at 4°C. Biotinylated anti-rat IgG, HRP Streptavidin, and DAB (3,3'-diaminobenzidine) substrate were used as the detection system. Slides were counterstained with hematoxylin. -
Direct ELISA of purified anti-Tau, 368-441 antibody (clone A16097F) and rat IgG2a isotype control binding to plate-immobilized recombinant human 2N3R and 2N4R Tau proteins. ELISA was performed by coating wells with 100 ng of each recombinant Tau protein. The wells were then incubated with anti-Tau or ratIgG2a at 37°C for 45 minutes, followed by incubation with horseradish peroxidase labeled goat anti-rat secondary antibody. TMB (3, 3', 5, 5' tetramethylbenzidine) was used as the detection system.

Tau protein promotes microtubule assembly and stability. Tau is abundant in neurons of the central nervous system, and is expressed at low levels in astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. Abnormal hyper-phosphorylation, aggregation, and toxic gain of function of tau is associated with several neurological disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The major building block of neurofibrillary lesions in AD brains consists of paired helical filaments (PHFs) of abnormally hyperphosphorylated tau. Six isoforms of tau are generated by alternative splicing of the MAPT gene. These isoforms are distinguished by the number of tubulin binding domains, 3 (3R) or 4 (4R), in the C-terminal of the protein and by one (1N), two (2N), or no (0N) inserts in the N-terminal domain. Tau isoforms are differentially expressed during development.

-
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by Western blotting. For Western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 1.0 - 5.0 µg/ml. For immunohistochemical staining on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections, a concentration range of 2.0 - 5.0 µg/ml is suggested. For Direct ELISA, a concentration range of 0.01 - 1 µg/ml is recommended. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
- Application Notes
-
This antibody cross-reacts with human 3R and 4R Tau isoforms, and recognizes endogenous human Tau in brain lysates by WB. The antibody has minimal reactivity with mouse Tau protein.

Antigen Details
- Structure
- Unmodified Tau isoforms have an apparent molecular weight ranging from 33-79 kD. Additional high and low molecular weight Tau species have been observed in brain tissues.
- Distribution
-
Tissue distribution: central nervous system, peripheral ganglia and nerves, kidney, skeletal, and heart muscle.
Cellular distribution: cytoskeleton, nucleus, plasma membrane, and cytosol. - Function
- Tau promotes microtubule assembly and stability. The short tau isoforms allow plasticity of the cytoskeleton whereas the longer isoforms may preferentially play a role in its stabilization.
- Interaction
- Tau interacts with Sequestosome-1, Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase FKBP4, Casein kinase I isoform delta, Serine/threonine-protein kinase Sgk1, Laforin, Alpha-synuclein
