From: Fibril specific, conformation dependent antibodies recognize a generic epitope common to amyloid fibrils and fibrillar oligomers that is absent in prefibrillar oligomers

Figure 6

Immunolabeling characteristics of OC in an AD case and preabsorption controls. Extensive OC labeling was observed in the hippocampus (A), subiculum (B) and frontal cortex (C) in AD. A higher magnification photograph illustrates that OC positive deposits were dense and consisted of fine fibrillar material (D). Preabsorption with a 100-fold concentration of OC antigen leads to a significant reduction in immunolabeling in the frontal cortex (E &F). Significant overlap was observed between OC positive immunoreactivity (Red – G) and LOC positive immunoreactivity (Green-H) suggesting that the two antibodies recognize similar deposits (Overlap is yellow – I). Magnification in A, B, C – 1.25×, D – 20×, E, F – 4× and G, H, I – 40×.
