Specificity

Reacts with human Tau phosphorylated at threonine 231 and fetal tau. The antibody also reacts with dephosphorylated neurofibrillary tangles. MAB5450 is reactive with the Thr231 phosphorylated and diphosphorylated peptides. No reactivity with normal adult tau or with unphosphorylated or serine 235 phosphorylated protein.

Immunogen

Epitope: phosphoThreonine 231
Paired helical filaments tau preparation from human brain.

Application

Anti-Tau Antibody, phosphoThreonine 231, clone PHF-6 is an antibody against Tau for use in ELISA & WB.
Research Category
Neuroscience
Research Sub Category
Neurodegenerative Diseases
Western blot: 1:1000, non-phosphate buffers recommended. Specific for phospho-tau however highly phosphorylated blocking materials like non-fat milk can sometimes cause difficulties, thus we generally recommend blocking western blots with TBS-1-2% BSA solutions (filtered through a 0.45μm membrane) for better results.

Immunohistochemistry: fresh frozen tissues with Tris-NaCl-Triton treatment

Abnormally phosphorylated tau proteins (A68) are the building blocks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) paired helical filaments. The biological consequences of the conversion of normal adult tau to A68 remain unknown. Here we demonstrate that native A68 does not bind to

Tau aggregation is a defining histopathological feature of Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies. However, the cellular mechanisms involved in tau propagation remain unclear. Here, we performed an unbiased quantitative proteomic study to identify proteins that specifically interact with this tau
