Abstract

A quantitative urea-based amyloid beta (Abeta)-sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with Western immunoblot (Abeta-SDS-PAGE/immunoblot) reveals highly conserved and disease-specific Abeta peptide patterns (Abeta 1-37, 1-38, 1-39, 1-40, 1-42) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and nondemented controls. For further standardization of this method, we analyzed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of eight probable AD patients and seven nondemented controls using different preanalytical procedures for Abeta-SDS-PAGE/immunoblot and Abeta1-42-enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Both diagnostic groups were discriminated significantly by absolute levels of Abeta1-42 and ratios of Abeta1-42/40, 1-42/38, 1-42/39. Preanalytical freezing of CSF led to a highly significant loss of all Abeta peptide species. This effect was most pronounced for Abeta1-42 and completely prevented by SDS-heat denaturation prior to freezing. Prolonged storage of SDS-heat denatured CSF led to a selective loss of Abeta1-42 and impaired the discrimination of diagnostic groups as measured by Abeta-SDS-PAGE/immunoblot. Neither freezing nor storage significantly affected absolute Abeta1-42 levels as determined by Abeta1-42-ELISA, but both impaired th...Continue Reading
