Beta Amyloid Peptide (AB40) Antibody – Mouse Monoclonal

Description: Mouse monoclonal antibody to C-terminal of amyloid beta peptide 40 (Abeta40)

Background: Abeta40 and Abeta42 are the two major amyloid peptides formed after cleavage of amyloid precursor protein. In blood and cerebrospinal fluid, the concentration of Abeta40 is about 10 timers higher than that of Abeta42. Abeta40 is the main component in the amyloid deposit of vascular amyloid angiopathy. Detection of Abeta40 is useful for the predication of Alzheimer's disease. Lower than normal Abeta42/Abeta40 ratio in cerebrospinal fluid was found to be associated with increased risk of mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease.

Small volumes of anti-Ab40 antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS592417 is an antibody targeting Ab40. Also known as mAb anti-Amyloid Beta Peptide 40. Reactive in Human, Mouse, Rat. Host: Mouse.
