title: Binding specificity of monoclonal antibody AD2: influence of the phosphorylation state of tau.
abstract: Using recombinant human tau protein phosphorylated by a brain extract and the glycogen synthase kinase-3beta in the absence or the presence of heparin, we showed that phosphorylation-dependent antibody AD2 recognition only requires phosphorylated Ser-396. By the Spot multiple peptide synthesis method, we showed that Tyr-394, Ser(P)-396 and Pro-397 are critical for AD2 binding. A decrease in the binding of AD2 was observed with increasing phosphorylation of residues in the vicinity of Ser(P)-396.
