Fully synthetic phosphorylated Tau181, Tau217, and Tau231 calibrators for Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis

BackgroundThe calibrator in immunoassay plays an essential role in diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Presently, the most well-studied biomarkers for AD diagnosis are three phosphorylated Tau (p-Tau): p-Tau231, p-Tau217, and p-Tau181. Glycogen synthase-3beta (GSK3β)-phosphorated Tau-441 is the most commonly used calibrator for p-Tau immunoassays. However, the batch-to-batch inconsistency issue of the commonly used GSK3β-phosphorylated Tau-441 limits […]
