Reactivity:
Reacts in: Human, Mouse
Immunogen/Epitope
raised against sonicated amyloid fibrils grown from synthesized Aβ1–40 peptides (epitope at Aβ residues 5–8)
Specificity
detects amyloid-beta fibrils; exhibits Ab binding to fibrils in the presence of a large excess of Aβ(1–40) monomer, suggesting that Ab is directed against conformational epitopes that only exist in the fibril
