SOD1 aggregation assay

SOD1 aggregation assay

About 10% of ALS cases are inherited; and a large subset of them are caused by mutations in the gene encoding the copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1). The detection of SOD1-positive inclusions in familial ALS patients suggests the role of SOD1 aggregation underlying the pathology of familial ALS. Although SOD1 mutant proteins are different in structure,…

α-synuclein aggregation assay

α-synuclein aggregation assay

α-Synuclein is a presynaptic neuronal protein which may contribute genetically and neuropathologically to Parkinson’s disease (PD). Aggregated a-synuclein is the major component of inclusions in Parkinson’s disease; but also in other synucleinopathy brains indicating that α-synuclein aggregation may play a main role in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. In this α-synuclein aggregation assay from Innoprot,…

SARS-CoV-2 Neutralization & Blocking Assay

SARS-CoV-2 Neutralization & Blocking Assay

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the cause of the pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). As the first step of the viral replication, the virus attaches to the host cell surface before entering the cell. The viral Spike protein recognizes and attaches to the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor. So, the blockage of…
