Tau-nY18_Purified_Tau-Nitrated_Antibody_1_122718.png
IHC staining of purified anti-Tau Nitrated (Tyr18) antibody (clone Tau-nY18) on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded Alzheimer's disease human brain tissue. Following antigen retrieval using Sodium Citrate H.I.E.R., the tissue was incubated with 10 µg/ml of the primary antibody overnight at 4°C. BioLegend's Ultra-Streptavidin (USA) HRP kit (Multi-Species, DAB, Cat. No. 929901) was used for detection followed by hematoxylin counterstaining, according to the protocol provided. The image was captured with a 40X objective. Scale bar: 50 µm

Description

Tau proteins are microtubule-associated protein (MAPs) which are abundant in neurons of the central nervous system, but are also expressed at very low levels in CNS astrocytes and oligodendrocytes and elsewhere. One of tau's main functions is to modulate the stability of axonal microtubules. Tau is active primarily in the distal portions of axons providing microtubule stabilization as well as flexibility. Pathologies and dementias of the nervous system such as Alzheimer's disease feature tau proteins that have become defective and no longer stabilize microtubules properly. As a result, tau forms aggregates with specific structural properties referred to as Paired Helical Filaments (PHFs) that are a characteristic of many different types of dementias, known as tauopathies.
