Immunohistochemistry on formic acid treated histological sections. Suggested working dilution is >1:200. AB1510 will detect both cerebrovascular and core amyloid. Formic acid pretreatment (Vinters et al., 1988) involves deparaffinizing sections, follwed by incubation in a 99% formic acid solution (10-20 min), a tap water rinse (10 min), 0.3% H202 in tris-buffered saline, then 3.0% NGS (30 min) followed by primary antibody.

Immunoblotting of formic acid extracts of brain tissue.

ELISA, direct:≥ 1:1000

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Anti-Amyloid Antibody, β, aa1-14 h β-amyloid detects level of Amyloid & has been published & validated for use in WB, IH.
