Abstract
Abnormal accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques in the brain is one of the major characteristics of Alzheimer’s disease and there is a possibility that the degree of plaque toxicity is related to the distribution of nanoscale oligomeric aggregates in plaques. Here, by super-resolution fluorescence imaging, we visualized that anti-Aβ oligomer antibodies localized differently to plaques compared to anti-Aβ monomer antibodies and characteristic plaque shapes in brain tissues were classified. These differences in nanoscale distribution were hard to be discerned by conventional fluorescence imaging, implying that super-resolution imaging has the potential to reveal the detailed features of oligomeric aggregates in plaques.
