Application examples
dot blot

Dot blot reaction of the binding capacity of ASyO5 to fibrils, monomers and oligomers. Equal amounts of each sample were spotted on a nitrocellulose membrane and then dried. The membrane was blocked with 5% non-fat milk before incubated for 1 h with anti-ASyO5 (25nM) and then with secondary antibody, anti-mouse HRP-conjugated (1:1500). The membrane was washed with PBS containing 0.25% Tween-20 before detection using ECL prime (GE Healthcare).
Preparation of α-synuclein oligomers and fibrils is described here.
Immunolocalization
Tissue sections from the human PD midbrain, substantia nigra, were de-waxed and rehydrated in ethanol and then incubated with ASyO5 at RT for 1h. The immunoreactivity was detected with the anti-mouse Peroxidase Reagent Kit (ImmPRESS, Vector Laboratories, Inc.) and then developed using the ImmPACT AEC Peroxidase Substrate kit (Vector Laboratories, Inc.).
Additional information
This antibody is specific to oligomers in ELISA as a capture antibody. For specific details, please check: Brännström et al. (2014). A Generic Method for Design of Oligomer-Specific Antibodies. PLoS ONE. DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0090857.
Background
Alpha-synuclein is normally an unstructured soluble protein that can aggregate to form insoluble fibrils in pathological conditions characterized by Lewy bodies, such as Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy-bodies, and multiple system atrophy. In analogy to many other amyloid associated disorders, alpha-synuclein may also form oligomeric assemblies. These small and soluble forms have been suggested to exert a stronger tissue damaging effect as compared to the monomeric and fibrillar counterpart. Using a recently developed technique a monoclonal oligomer-specific antibody has been designed.
