Description

This product is an ELISA kit that can measure Aβ42 in a sample. Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is characterized by the presence of extracellular senile plaques (SPs) and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) in the brain. The major protein component of SPs is beta Amyloid peptide (AB) 40 AND 42(43). Aβ42 is more prone to aggregate than Aβ40. Therefore the initial Aβdeposition begins with Aβ42(43) but not with Aβ40. Aβ42(43)-positive and Aβ40-negative plaques may represent early-stage diffuse type SPs, and Aβ40-positive plaque appears in the advanced stage, especially more often in the cored portion of the mature plaque
