摘要: Extracellular and/or intracellular aggregates are pathological features of many, if not all, neurodegenerative diseases. In Alzheimer disease (AD), extracellular beta-amyloid (Abeta) and tau or a-synuclein key diagnostic markers the disease. We report here a method to rapidly detect these protein that relies on size exclusion filtration immunostaining trapped material, termed filter trapping. demonstrate aggregated forms Abeta readily in 0.22 microm cellulose acetate membranes, which can then be immunostained with specific antibodies manner similar standard immunoblot. Coupling this serial dilution permits rapid assessment relative aggregate burden.
