Acta Neuropathologica: The 375-bit phosphate-resistant anti-TDP-43 antibody of serine indicates a difference in the composition of the TDP-43 aggregate between FTLD-TDP subtypes.

Abnormal neurons and glial inclusions consisting of trans-reactive DNA binding protein Mr 43 kD (TDP-43) are signature lesions of two devastating neurodegenerative diseases, including primary TDP-43 protein disease, frontal lobe degeneration TDP-43 disease (FTLD-TDP) and the vast majority of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALDP)."
accumulation of ultraphosphatized TDP-43 is an iconic pathological feature of the most common molecular form of temporal lobe defedation (FTLD-TDP), as in the vast majority of cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS-TDP).
, however, most specific phosphateization locations have yet to be determined, and their correlation with pathogenic, clinical and pathological ideophedrological diversity of FLD-TDP and ALS-TDP has yet to be determined.
The authors developed a TDP-43 antibody (pTDP-43S375) for phosphatization at 375 serine in a low-complexity domain and used it to study the presence of S375 phosphate in a series of cases of FLD-TDP and ALS-TDP (n=44).
immunoprint analysis showed that phosphateization of S375 was a consistent feature of pathological TDP-43 species in all the FLD-TDP subtypes (A-C) and ALS-TDP examined, including full-length and C-end fragments.
, however, it is particularly interesting that detailed immunoglostification analyses show significant differences in the immune response spectrum of inclusions containing pTDP-43S375 antiseptics in pathological subtypes.
ALS-TDP's TDP-43 pathology, FTLD-TDP B (including cases of C9orf72 mutation) and FLD-TDP C all showed strong pTDP-43S375 immune response, similar in number and morphology to the gold standard with S409/410 phosphate antibodies.
contrast, the pathology of TDP-43, which is distributed and genetically formed in the FLD-TDP A type (including cases of GRN and C9orf72 mutations), was almost completely negative through pTDP-43S375 immunogroupization.
these data show that pTDP-43S375 anti-serum and TDP-43 aggregates have subtype-specific, configuration-dependent binding, which is consistent with the composition of different structures of TDP-43 (i.e., TDP-43 strains) is the molecular basis of TDP-43 protein disease ideotype diversity.
method: The rabbit antiserine antisergenic TDP-43 polyclonal antibody was prepared using customized multiclonal antibody cross-affinity and purification service.
simply put, with human TDP-43 368-379 amino acids corresponding to the phosphate peptide immune rabbit: ac-EPNQAFGS (p) GNNS-C-CONH2.
purified phosphoric acid-specific antibodies using affinity and unmodified peptides.
company conducted preliminary verification of phosphate specificity of cross-affinity and purified antibodies through a qualitative indirect enzyme-linked immunosorption test (ELISA).
summary: Describe TDP-43 phosphate at S375 as a consistent characteristic of exudation and hereditary ALS-TPD and FLD-TDP, and demonstrate that standard dyeing schemes using this new antibody can distinguish between FLD-TDP-a The pathological characteristics of TDP-43 pathology and other FLD-TDP types and ALS-TDP are most likely to be consistent with the concept of alternating TDP-43 configuration as the biopic basis of ideophysical diversity.
