Abstract
Calpains are a family of calcium-dependent thiolproteases that selectively cleave substrates including tau, a microtubule-associated protein central to Alzheimer’s disease neuropathology. Previous work has shown that AD tau is hyperphosphorylated compared with control tau, as illustrated in Figure 1, and is resistant to calpain activity. We have used
Phage-display, a method of studying protein-protein interactions, to exploit the differences in tau found in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to create a biomarker detection method based on the presence or absence of calpain-cleaved tau.
