ANTI-PHOSPHORYLATED TAU PROTEIN ANTIBODIES AND METHODS FOR DETECTING ALZHEIMER`S DISEASE WITH THE USE OF THE SAME

摘要

An antibody is prepared by using a partial peptide containing the phosphorylated site of a phosphorylated tau protein in the paired helical filament as an immunogen. Then the reactivity of the antibody thus obtained with samples obtained from individuals with a suspicion of Alzheimer's disease is examined to thereby detect the disease.
