DescriptionBioTracker Tau filaments pFTAA Live Cell Dye
OverviewProtein misfolding diseases are characterized by deposition of protein aggregates. Accumulation of protein deposits, so-called amyloid, is the histopathological hallmark of several devastating diseases, and the development of sensitive optical ligands to detect and characterize these disease-associated structures is of great interest.

The BioTracker Tau filaments pFTAA live cell dye is a novel fluorescent probe that can bind to and discriminate between amyloid-b (Aβ) plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in Alzheimer’s disease (AD)-like pathology in transgenic mouse brain tissue sections.
