The epitope sequence is from the reference cited: Bard et al. (2004) Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 100(4):2023-8 [PMID: 12566568].
Epitope specific mAb 4G8 was used as the detecting antibody in a two-site ELISA to measure Aß levels in the plasma, brains and CSF of Tg2576 mice treated with mAb9, specific for Aß 1-16, mAb40.1, specific for Aß 35-40, or mAb42.2, specific for Aß 35-42.2 . MAb 4G8 was also used as the detecting antibody to measure Aß levels in plasma and brains of mAb9-treated BRI-Aß42B mice. Mice dosed with mAb9 once or every week for 4 wk showed elevated plasma and CSF Aß, but no significant change in Aß 1-40 levels in RIPA brain extracts.
