Description
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the presence of senile plaques in the brain and blood vessel walls. Amyloid Beta A4 (Aβ4) protein has been found to be the principal constituent of senile plaques of ADs patients (1-2). APP is proteolytically cleaved to generate the 4 kDa Aβ4 protein. Two variants of Aβ4 can be detected; Aβ1-40 short-tailed and Aβ1-42 long-tailed (3-4).

Staining of various paraffin-embedded human tissue samples using anti-APP RabMAb (cat#1565-1). Liver showed negative staining. Tissues were stained in parallel on the same Normal Tissue Array.
Staining of various paraffin-embedded human tissue samples using anti-APP RabMAb (cat#1565-1). Skeletal muscle showed negative staining. Tissues were stained in parallel on the same Normal Tissue Array.
 

Staining of various paraffin-embedded human tissue samples using anti-APP RabMAb (cat#1565-1). Human brain tissue showed positive immunohistochemical staining for Amyloid Beta A4 precursor. Tissues were stained in parallel on the same Normal Tissue Array.
Staining of various paraffin-embedded human tissue samples using anti-APP RabMAb (cat#1565-1). Human breast showed negative staining. Tissues were stained in parallel on the same Normal Tissue Array.

Specificity
A synthetic peptide corresponding to residues in the NPXY motif of human APP was used as immunogen. This antibody specifically recognizes APP and its isoforms. It will not recognize either of the two Amyloid Beta Protein ( Aβ4 ) variants, Aβ1 -40 or Aβ1 -42.

Storage Condition and Buffer
Store at -20 °C. Buffer: 50 mM Tris-Glycine (pH 7.4), 0.15 M NaCl, 40% Glycerol, 0.01% sodium azide and 0.05% BSA. Stable for 12 months from date of receipt.

Alternative Names
