Description | This affinity purified antibody is directed against extracellular region of beta amyloid and is useful in determining its presence in various assays. Polyclonal anti-beta amyloid detects human and mouse beta amyloid. Blast analysis of the sequence of the immunogen shows 100% identity with Human, Guinea Pig, Pig, Cyno Monkey, Dog, Polar Bear, Rabbit, Chimp, Squirrel monkey, and Sheep. Cross reactivity with beta amyloid from other species is likely but has not been determined. Beta amyloid, often abbreviated as A-beta, is a protein that builds up in the brains of persons with Alzheimer's disease, collecting in clumps called plaques or senile plaques. While some researchers question whether beta amyloid is the cause of the dementia, most agree that it is involved in the disruption of thinking that is a hallmark of the disease. In some cases of familial Alzheimer's disease, mutations in genes for the proteins called the presenilins lead to increased production of amyloid. Researchers have been looking at how presenilin-1 in particular contributes to the excess buildup of beta amyloid. Presenilin-1 apparently acts to increase the activity of gamma-secretase, an enzyme that changes a normal protein (amyloid precursor protein or APP) into beta amyloid itself. Furthermore, presenilin-1 might be gamma-secretase. |
Immunogen | This antibody was affinity purified from whole rabbit serum prepared by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to an extracellular region of human beta amyloid conjugated to KLH using maleimide. |
