Anti-Amyloid β42/40, clone W0-2 ZooMAb^®, Cat. No. ZMS1045, is a recombinant Mouse monoclonal antibody that detects Amyloid b42 and 40 and is tested for use in Dot Blot, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin).

Clone W0-2 is a ZooMAb^® mouse recombinant monoclonal antibody that detects Amyloid β42/40. It targets an epitope within seven amino acids from the N-terminal region of Amyloid β peptide (corresponding to amino acids 672-678 of human amyloid precursor protein).

Amyloid-beta A4 protein (UniProt: P05067; also known as ABPP, APPI, APP, Alzheimer disease amyloid protein, Amyloid precursor protein, Amyloid-beta precursor protein, Cerebral vascular amyloid peptide, CVAP, PreA4, Protease nexin-II, PN-II) is encoded by the APP (also known as A4, AD1) gene (Gene ID: 351) in human. Deposition of Aβ peptides is an early event in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer s disease (AD) that precedes the formation of Tau-positive paired helical filaments (PHFs) in NFTs. AD is also characterized by a progressive deposition of the Aβ peptide in senile plaques. Aβ peptides originate from the proteolytic cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Processing of APP occurs by two major pathways cleavage of APP by a-secretase is a non-amyloidogenic pathway and does not produce Aβ peptides. Cleavage of APP at the N-terminus of the Aβ region by β-secretase and at the C-terminus by g-secretase represents the amyloidogenic pathway. The β-secretase cleaves APP between residues Met671 and Asp672 and yields sAPPβ and C99. Following the β-secretase cleavage, a second cleavage occurs at the C-terminus of Aβ peptide that releases Aβ from C99. This cleavage occurs in the vicinity of residue 712 of the C-terminus. The g-secretase can cleave the C-terminal region at either Val711 or Ile713 to produce the shorter Aβ peptide (Aβ1-40) or the longer Aβ peptide (Aβ1-42), respectively. The predominant form of Aβ found in the cerebrospinal fluid is the shorter Aβ1-40 peptide. Despite its lower rate of synthesis, Aβ1-42 is the peptide that is initially deposited within the extracellular plaques of AD patients. In addition, Aβ1-42 is more hydrophobic and aggregates at much lower concentration than the Aβ1-40 form. The abnormal accumulation of Aβ peptides can result in neuronal damage and loss by increasing free radical production and activation of inflammatory pathways by enhancing microglial secretion of inflammatory cytokines. Interaction between Aβ and ApoE3 or E4 is also an important determinant of amyloidosis. ApoE3 is shown to inhibit Aβ aggregation in vitro by decreasing Aβ multimers, whereas ApoE4 is reported to accelerate the rate of amyloid fibril formation. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
