Intoxication of neurons with beta-amyloid (1-40) is a useful Alzheimer disease (AD) in vitro model. This model allows evaluate the capacity of different agents to inhibit the neuronal damage in AD based on the accumulation of neurotoxic amyloid beta peptide. Aβ1-40 Induced Neurotoxicity Assay offers the advantage of a rapid screening of the neuroprotective potential…
Intoxication of neurons with beta-amyloid (1-42) oligomers is a useful Alzheimer disease (AD) in vitro model. This model allows evaluate the capacity of different agents to inhibit the neuronal damage in AD based on the accumulation of neurotoxic amyloid beta oligomers. Aβ1-42 Induced Neurotoxicity Assay offers the advantage of a rapid screening of the neuroprotective…
Amyloid-beta peptide Oligomerization Assay is a functional cell-based assay to identify inhibitors of amyloid peptide oligomerization process. We incubate rat primary neurons, human Microglia or SH-SY5Y cells with test compounds in parallel with Aβ1-42 peptide during 24h. After that, we measure Aβ1-42 oligomerization process analysing the number of thiazine staining oligomers related to cell number .
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) comprises the accumulation of brain depositions of the beta amyloid (βA). The βA is the amyloid precursor protein (APP) digestion product, released from the cell after secretases proteolysis.This is the basis of the APP Processing Assay offered by Innoprot. Innoprot has developed a novel fluorescence-based assay for screening of inhibitors of the…
Gamma secretase activity assay from Innoprot allows the monitoring of γ-secretase proteolytic process in living cells. Assay is performed on a cell line expressing a fluorescent construct (APP-C99) containing the γ-secretase cleaving site. When γ-secretase activity is inhibited by any antagonist, fluorescent aggregates appear in the cell cytoplasm in a dose-response manner.
tau phosphorylation assay from Innoprot allows the identification of tau kinase and phosphatase inhibitors and modulators that affect the behaviour or location of tau protein. Tau is a group of neuronal microtubule-associated proteins that are formed by alternative mRNA splicing. They accumulate in neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) brain. There is significant evidence that…
