Description

β-Amyloid (1-42), (rat/mouse) is a 42-aa peptide, shows cytotoxic effect on acute hippocampal slices, and used in the research of Alzheimer's disease.

IC50 & Target

Amyloid-β[1]

In Vitro

β-Amyloid Aggregation Guidelines (Following is our recommended protocol. This protocol only provides a guideline, and should be modified according to your specific needs). 1. Solid Aβ peptide was dissolved in cold hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP). The peptide was incubated at room temperature for at least 1h to establish monomerization and randomization of structure. 2. The HFIP was removed by evaporation, and the resulting peptide was stored as a film at -20 or -80 ℃. 3. The resulting film was dissolved in anhydrous DMSO at 5 mM and then diluted into the appropriate concentration and buffer (serum- and phenol red-free culture medium) with vortexing. 4. Next, the solution was aged 48h at 4-8 ℃. The sample was then centrifuged at 14000g for 10 min at 4-8 ℃; the soluble oligomers were in the supernatant. The supernatant was diluted 10-200-fold for experiments. Methods vary depends on the downstream applications.

In Vivo

β-Amyloid (1-42), (rat/mouse) can induce Alzheimer's disease[4].

Induction of Alzheimer's disease[4]
Background
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder mainly characterized by the abnormal accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide. The oligomeric form of the Aβ peptide as being the critical initiator of neurotoxicity in the AD pathogenesis[4].
Specific Mmodeling Methods
Rat: Wistar • male • adult, weighing 240-260 g
Administration: 1 μg/μL • Hippocampal injection • single dose
Note
(1) β-Amyloid (1-42) needs to be processed into oligomers before use.
(2) β-Amyloid (1-42) was injected bilaterally into the hippocampus of rat brain in a volume of 1.0 μL over a period of 0.1 μL/min using 1 μL Hamilton syringe.
Modeling Indicators
Indicator changes: Decreased the gene expression level of α7-nAChR and increased the mRNA expression of NMDA receptor 2A, and -2B subunits.
Behavior: β-Amyloid (1-42) aggregates increased the retention time and altered the behavioral response in rats after 15 days of injection.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (0.57 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (0.57 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
