Background:

Aβ40 and Aβ42 are the two major amyloid peptides formed after cleavage of amyloid precursor protein. In blood and cerebrospinal fluid, the concentration of Aβ40 is about 10 timers higher than that of Aβ42. Aβ40 is the main component in the amyloid deposit of vascular amyloid angiopathy. Detection of Aβ40 is useful for the predication of Alzheimer’s disease. Lower than normal Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio in cerebrospinal fluid was found to be associated with increased risk of mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease.

Application:

ELISA: The antibody can detect Aβ40 in ELISA.
