Merck, EZHS42, High Sensitivity Human Amyloid β42 ELISA

General description
Amyloid beta peptides have been implicated in the etiology of Alzheimer’s disease. Amyloid beta 40 is the most prominent peptide and Amyloid beta 42 is the neurotoxic form. The Amyloid beta 42/40-ratio (AB ratio) has been reported as a better indicator of the Alzheimer pathology. Millipore’s High Sensitivity Human Amyloid β42 ELISA kit is used for the measurement of Amyloid β42 in cerebrospinal fluid, cell culture supernatants, primary neurons and plasma in a 96-well format.
Application
Research Category
Neuroscience
Research Sub Category
Alzheimer′s Disease
This High Sensitivity Human Amyloid β42 ELISA is used to measure & quantify Amyloid β42 levels in Neuroscience research.
This assay requires 50 µl of sample and is an overnight assay.
Used to detect/quantify: Amyloid β42
Biochem/physiol Actions
The Amyloid β42 ELISA (HS) uses monoclonal anti-Aβ antibodies with high selectivity for human Aβ. The capture antibody recognizes the C-terminal end of Amyloid β1-42, which causes a high selectivity for Aβ42. The cross-reactivity of the used antibodies to other Amyloid peptides was tested by ELISA and BIACORE and shows no significant cross-reactivity to Aβ1-38, Aβ1-39, Aβ1-40, Aβ1-43 and Aβ1-44.
Preparation Note
Components in the kit can be stored up to 2 weeks at 2-8°C
