Abstract EN
Amyloid beta peptides (Aβ1-42) have been found to be associated with the cause of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and dementia.
Currently, methods for detecting Aβ1-42 are complicated and expensive.
The present study is aimed at developing an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ic-ELISA) to detect Aβ1-42 by using a polyclonal antibody from alpaca, an application used in urine samples.
The serum was collected from the alpaca after immunizing it with Aβ1-42 at 500 μg/injection 5 times.
The ic-ELISA was developed and showed a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 103.20 ng/ml.
The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.39 ng/100 μl.
The cross-reactivity was tested with Aβ1-40 and 8 synthesized peptides that had sequence similarities to parts of Aβ1-42.
The cross-reactivity of Aβ1-40 and peptide 1 (DAEFRHDSGYE) was 55% and 69.4%, respectively.
The ic-ELISA was applied to analyze Aβ1-42 in the urine and precipitated protein urine samples.
This method can be used for detecting a normal level of total soluble Aβ (approximately 1 ng in 5 mg of precipitated urine protein) and can be used for detecting the early stages of AD.
It is considered to be an easy and inexpensive method for monitoring and diagnosing AD.
