Tau protein, encoded by the MAPT gene, serves as a critical regulator of microtubule stability in neurons and has become one of the most intensively studied targets in neurodegenerative disease research. Phosphorylation at serine 404 represents a particularly significant post-translational modification, as hyperphosphorylation at this and other sites drives tau aggregation into the neurofibrillary tangles characteristic of Alzheimer's disease and related tauopathies. Detecting this specific phosphorylation event allows researchers to distinguish pathological tau species from their normal counterparts, providing essential insights into disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic interventions.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 11H10, offers the reproducibility and consistency that phospho-specific detection demands. Produced using recombinant technology with a defined sequence, it eliminates the lot-to-lot variability that can compromise longitudinal studies or multi-site collaborations investigating tau pathology. The rabbit host and monoclonal format combine high affinity with exceptional specificity for the phosphorylated serine 404 epitope.
Validation in human brain tissue demonstrates this antibody's utility for investigating tau phosphorylation in its most relevant biological context. Immunohistochemistry performed on paraffin-embedded human brain sections using a Leica Bond system with citrate buffer antigen retrieval produced clear, specific staining at dilutions between 1:50 and 1:200, giving researchers flexibility to optimize signal intensity for their particular samples and detection systems. The antibody is also validated for ELISA applications, supporting quantitative assessment of phospho-tau levels.
For researchers investigating Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis, tauopathy mechanisms, or neuronal signaling pathways, this phospho-MAPT antibody provides a reliable tool for detecting disease-relevant tau modifications in human tissue samples.
