Amyloid-Beta Aptamer: T-SO508

Amyloid Beta Aptamer

Target: oligomers of αSyn and Aβ40 oligomer

Binding Affinity: 25 nM (ELONA)

Usage and Biology

T-SO508 is a DNA aptamer specific for Aβ oligomer, suggesting that the G-quadruplex form of DNA aptamer tends to preferentially bind to the β-structures of Aβ oligomer [1]. Presently, aptamer T-SO508 has been the most commonly used recognition molecule in Aβ40 oligomers detection [1]. T-SO508 is suitable for the construction of Aβ sensing platforms, however the distinction between Aβ40 oligomer and Aβ42 oligomer is limited [1]. T-SO508’s high affinity for Aβ is beneficial to improve detection sensitivity and inhibition efficiency for further applications in clinical diagnosis and treatment of AD. However, compared to α-synuclein oligomers, affinity of T-SO508 aptamer to Aβ40 oligomers was slightly lower (Kd value of 25nM) [1].
