IHC staining of Alexa Fluor® 647 anti-β-Amyloid, 17-24 antibody (clone 4G8) on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal (A) and Alzheimer’s disease (B) brain tissue. Following antigen retrieval using 88% Formic Acid, the tissues were incubated with 10 µg/ml of the primary antibody overnight at 2-8°C. The tissues were counterstained with DAPI. The images were captured with a 40X objective. Scale bar: 50 µm.

Description

Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by the accumulation of aggregated Aβ peptides in senile plaques and vascular deposits. Aβ peptides are derived from amyloid precursor proteins (APP) through sequential proteolytic cleavage of APP by β-secretases and γ-secretases generating diverse Aβ species. Aβ can aggregate to form soluble oligomeric species and insoluble fibrillar or amorphous assemblies. Some forms of the aggregated peptides are toxic to neurons.

Application Notes

This antibody is reactive to amino acid residues 17-24 of ß amyloid. The epitope lies within amino acids 18-22 of ß amyloid (VFFAE). 4G8 ß-amyloid antibody reacts to abnormally processed isoforms, as well as precursor forms.

This antibody clone has been reported for use on IHC of free-floating sections in PBS containing 1% Triton incubated with 0.1 m citrate buffer (4).

Additional reported applications (for the relevant formats) include: immunohistochemical staining on frozen tissue sections (IHC-F) and immunocytochemistry (ICC)

Antigen Details

Structure
Amyloid precursor protein is a 770 amino acid protein with a molecular mass of ~100 kD. According to the UniProtKB database, APP (ID# P05067) has 11 isoforms (34 to ~90 kD) and the 770 form has been designated as the canonical form. Isoform APP695 is the predominant form expressed in neuronal tissue. Isoforms APP751 and APP770 are widely expressed in non-neuronal cells. Isoform APP751 is the most abundant form in T-lymphocytes. Aβ denotes peptides of 36-43 amino acids generated from cleavage of APP by secretases. Aβ has an apparent molecular mass of about 4 kD.
Distribution

Tissue distribution: Primarily nervous system, but also adipose tissue, intestine, and muscle.
Cellular distribution: Cytosol, endosomes, nucleus, plasma membrane, extracellular, and golgi apparatus.

Function
The normal function of Aβ is not well understood. Several potential physiological roles have been proposed, including: activation of kinase enzymes; protection against oxidative stress; regulation of cholesterol transport; transcription factor, and as an anti-microbial agent.
