Tau protein, encoded by the MAPT gene, serves as a critical regulator of microtubule stability in neurons, and its phosphorylation state has become central to understanding neurodegenerative disease mechanisms. Phosphorylation at serine 202 represents one of the earliest and most extensively studied tau modifications, appearing in the paired helical filaments characteristic of Alzheimer's disease pathology. Detecting this specific phospho-epitope enables researchers to investigate tau hyperphosphorylation dynamics, track disease progression markers, and evaluate therapeutic interventions targeting tau pathology.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 9F8, offers the reproducibility essential for longitudinal studies and multi-site collaborations investigating tau phosphorylation. Because the antibody sequence is defined and produced recombinantly in rabbit host cells, researchers can expect consistent performance across experiments without the lot-to-lot variability that can complicate interpretation of subtle phosphorylation changes. The affinity-chromatography purification ensures high specificity for the phospho-S202 epitope.
Validation in flow cytometry demonstrates effective detection in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, a widely used cellular model for neuroscience research. The protocol employed fixation and permeabilization to access intracellular tau, with clear signal separation from isotype control at 1:50 dilution, confirming specific recognition of the phosphorylated target. This validation in a human neuronal cell line supports applications examining endogenous phospho-tau levels under various experimental conditions.
For researchers investigating tau biology in Alzheimer's disease, tauopathies, or broader signal transduction pathways regulating cytoskeletal dynamics, this antibody provides a reliable tool for flow cytometric analysis of phospho-tau populations at the single-cell level.
