Scientific Background
Filamentous tau inclusions are a hallmark of many neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), collectively called tauopathies. Advances in Cryo-EM have revealed that tau filaments isolated from individuals with a particular neurodegenerative disease share a distinct tau fold – i.e. an AD-isolated Tau filaments’ fold is distinct from a CTE-isolated Tau filaments’ fold. Utilizing Tau filaments with the correct disease-specific fold is an important goal towards better mimicking specific human diseases in cellular and in vivo models. Recent Cryo-EM studies have demonstrated that recombinantly generated Tau dGAE monomers will form the disease-isolated AD or CTE Tau filament folds under highly specific conditions in vitro. Eagle Biosciences SPR-501 Tau (297-391) dGAE monomers are purified following these exact published procedures and can be utilized to form these distinct folds using specific aggregation conditions.
