Abstract:In flow cytometry using two detecting methods, we have found that amyloid-beta-protein(1-40) Abeta(1-40)] has high affinity to IMR-32 neuroblastoma cell membrane when it is aggregated to form beta-sheet conformation, whereas random coil small Abeta-species has low affinity. The difference in the binding ability to the cell membranes well accounts for the cytotoxicity of Abeta(1-40); namely, aggregated beta-sheet Abeta(1-40) gives cytotoxicity higher than random coil Abeta(1-40). Specific binding between Abeta(1-40) and ganglioside GM1 of the raft-like domain in lipid membrane is suggested from a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) experiment.
