Description

The TAR DNA binding protein of 43 kDa (TDP-43) is a ubiquitously expressed nuclear protein with roles in transcription and splicing regulation. A hyper-phosphorylated, ubiquitinated and cleaved form of TDP-43, known as pathologic TDP-43 is the major disease protein in ubiquitin-positive, tau and α-synuclein-negative frontotemporal dementia (FTLD-TDP, previously referred to as FTLD-U) and in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Evidences indicates that TDP-43 can be detected in human plasma and CSF and levels are reportedly elevated in cases of ALS, FTLD and Alzheimer’s disease. 1,2

The “MagQu” TDP-43 IMR Reagent is designed for rapid quantifying TDP-43 by ImmunoMagnetic Reduction (IMR). We conjugate antibody on the surface of around 50 nm-in-diameter Fe3O4 magnetic particles. When the antibodies on the surface bind with TDP-43, the magnetic particles form clusters. Therefore, the ac susceptibility (Xac) of magnetic particles would be reduced in the adding ac magnetic field. By measuring the reduction of Xac, TDP-43 can be easily, rapidly and accurately quantified.
