Description
General description
Alzheimer′s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and the leading cause of dementia, affecting approximately 36 million people worldwide. The disease is characterized by two key features: extracellular amyloid β (Aβ) plaques formed from peptides like Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42, and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles composed of hyperphosphorylated Tau protein. These biomarkers—reduced soluble Aβ1-42, increased total Tau, and phosphorylated Tau in cerebrospinal fluid—serve as critical indicators of the pathological processes underlying neurodegenerative conditions.
Application
MILLIPLEX® Qualified assays undergo rigorous assay development, verification, and Quality Control testing to achieve optimal performance. Simultaneously analyze up to 4 analytes in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Analytes included: Amyloid beta 1-40 (Aβ40), Amyloid beta 1-42 (Aβ42), Total Tau proteins (tTau), and Phosphorylated Tau Thr181 (pTau181).
Assay Characteristics: Refer to kit protocol for assay cross-reactivity, sensitivity, precision, and accuracy.
Features and Benefits
