Recognition of tau epitopes by anti-neurofilament antibodies that bind to Alzheimer neurofibrillary tangles.
Eleven anti-neurofilament (anti-NF) monoclonal antibodies were studied for their reactivity with heat-stable, microtubule-associated proteins and Alzheimer neurofibrillary tangles (ANT). On immunoblots of NF proteins, the antibodies recognized epitopes that were variably sensitive to Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase. Eight of the antibodies showed reactivity with ANT and decreased binding ...
متن کاملAlzheimer neurofibrillary tangles contain phosphorylated and hidden neurofilament epitopes.
Three monoclonal antibodies to neurofilaments (RT97, BF10 and 147), two of which also recognised neurofibrillary tangles (RT97 and BF10), have all been shown to be specific for phosphorylated epitopes. Treatment of histological sections with alkaline phosphatase prior to immunostaining resulted in reduction of axonal neurofilament staining with all three whilst the neurofibrillary tangles stain...
متن کاملNeurofibrillary tangles of Alzheimer disease share antigenic determinants with the axonal microtubule-associated protein tau (tau)
The relationship of the neurofibrillary tangle, found in Alzheimer disease and aged brains, to normal or abnormal cytoskeletal proteins remains elusive. Although immunohistochemical studies have yielded disparate results, most antigenic determinants localized to neurofibrillary tangles are cytoskeletal constituents normally present in neuronal perikarya or dendrites. We report light and electro...
متن کاملRecognition of Alzheimer paired helical filaments by monoclonal neurofilament antibodies is due to crossreaction with tau protein.
Neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaques are the principal pathological features of Alzheimer disease. Neurofibrillary tangles and the neurites of senile plaques contain paired helical filaments (PHF) that consist of two 10-nm filaments twisted into a double helix. The precursor proteins of PHF are not fully known. To identify these precursors, numerous immunochemical studies have been carrie...
متن کاملMicrotubule-associated protein 2: monoclonal antibodies demonstrate the selective incorporation of certain epitopes into Alzheimer neurofibrillary tangles.
Neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) are the principal structural alteration of neuronal cell bodies in Alzheimer disease as well as in normal aging of the human brain. While the ultrastructure of these intraneuronal lesions has been extensively studied, the biochemical composition of the fibers comprising the NFT is unknown. We report the production of three monoclonal antibodies against the microtub...
