Product Name:

Anti-Amyloid Precursor Protein antibody [Y188]

Catalog Number:

ab32136

Our lab performs the cuprizone model of toxicity to assess neuroinflammation, demyelination/remyelination, and axonal damage in various mouse lines. To assess axonal damage, we often use APP immunostaining and count axonal swellings by IHC.
