By introducing and developing conventional ELISAs as well as ultra-sensitive ELISAs for full-length Aβ and N-terminal truncated Aβ, we have analyzed multiple brain regions of human autopsy brain with different disease stages. In addition to measuring various neuroinflammation markers, we also have measured tau accumulation in each disease stage and each brain region by developing ELISAs that accurately captures tau accumulation, and reported it in an academic journal (Shinohara et al., J Neuropathol & Exp Neurol 2021). Furthermore, comprehensive gene expression analysis was performed to identify genes and pathways that correlate with various Aβ and tau (unpublished data). We are continuing research to verify the involvement of these genes and pathways in Aβ and tau accumulation.
