 Conformation-Specific Alpha-Synuclein Antibody for Research into Parkinson’s DiseaseConformation-SpecificAlpha-Synuclein Antibody for Research into Parkinson’s Disease
 
In the brains of patients suffering from Parkinson's disease, misfolding and aggregation of native alpha-synuclein occurs, resulting in the formation of filamentous Lewy bodies. Aggregated alpha-synuclein can be detected by anti-alpha synuclein filament antibody (ab209530), which is a conformation-specific antibody.
