We will be at the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting in the convention center of San Diego 15th-19th of November. This is the major international meeting for neuroscientists and we have been going every year since 2013. This year we will be at booth 700, easily remembered as it is the number directly after 699. As usual we will be giving out posters, flashlights, pens and other cool swag objects.
We also release new antibodies. MCA-1H103 is an antibody to phosphorylated MAPτ, a.k.a. MAPT or simply τ or tau, a major protein expressed heavily in neurons and certain glia. The antibody binds only forms of τ phosphorylated on threonine 205 and our studies suggest that this site is constitutively phosphorylated in vivo. We also release MCA-5H112, a new mouse monoclonal made against the cryptic epitopes on neurofilament light chain, a.k.a NF-L. The antibody is extremely well characterized and we show that it binds to a region of NF-L similar to the binding site of antibody UD1, a.k.a. 47.3, the key capture reagent in the Uman Diagnostics NF-LIGHT™ ELISA assay and the Quanterix SIMOA™ NF-L assay.
