Amyloid-β (Aβ) is the main component of the amyloid plaque, which is the lesion formed in the brain of patients with Alzheimer's disease, and is considered by many to be the cause of Alzheimer's disease.
Tau, a microtubule-associated protein mainly expressed in neurons of the central nervous system, is also being studied to elucidate the cause of Alzheimer's disease and to develop therapeutic drugs.
FUJIFILM Wako offers ELISA kits for Aβ and Tau, and also a broad lineup of bioactive substances related to Alzheimer's disease.
