Abstract excerpt
Fibrillization of tau protein is a hallmark lesion in Alzheimer's disease. To clarify the utility of electron microscopy as a quantitative assay for tau fibrillization in vitro, the interaction between synthetic tau filaments and carbon/formvar-coated grids was characterized in detail. Filament adsorption onto grids was hyperbolic when analyzed as a function of time or bulk protein concentration, with no evidence...
