Immunohistochemistry analysis of rat brain injected with active human alpha synuclein PFFs (GTX17669-pro). Species: Female Sprague-Dawley Rat. Rat was injected with 2μL active human alpha synuclein PFFs (GTX17669-pro) in each of 2 injection sites: AP+1.6, ML+2.4, DV-4.2 from skull; and AP-1.4, ML+0.2, DV-2.8 from skull. 30-days post-injection. Fixation: Saline perfusion followed by 4% PFA fixation for 48 hrs. Secondary Antibody: Biotin-SP Donkey Anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) at 1:500 for 2 hours in cold room with shaking. ABC signal amplification, DAB staining. Magnification: 20X. Alpha synuclein pathology is seen in the striatum close to an injection site.

Tissue: Primary hippocampal neurons. Species: Sprague-Dawley rat. Fixation: 4% formaldehyde from PFA. Primary Antibody: Mouse anti-pSer129 Antibody at 1:1000 24 hours at 4ºC. Secondary Antibody: FITC Goat Anti-Mouse (green) at 1:700 for 1 hours at RT. Counterstain: Hoechst (blue) nuclear stain at 1:4000 for 1 hour at RT. Localization: Lewy body inclusions. Magnification: 20x.

Toxicity results comparing active Human alpha Synuclein protein (Pre-Formed Fibrils) (GTX17667-pro) and active Alpha Synuclein Protein Preformed Fibrils (GTX17669-pro). Data was graphed after live cell imaging results were obtained using the following procedure: After 8 days in vitro, primary rat mixed cortical neuron cells were treated with 500 μg/ml of Type 1 and Type 2 Alpha Synuclein Proteins for 20 hours at 37˚C.

Active alpha synuclein preformed fibrils (GTX17669-pro) seed the formation of new alpha synuclein fibrils from the pool of alpha synuclein monomers (GTX17668-pro). Thioflavin T is a fluorescent dye that binds to beta sheet-rich structures, such as those in alpha synuclein fibrils. Upon binding, the emission spectrum of the dye experiences a red-shift, and increased fluorescence intensity. Thioflavin T emission curves show increased fluorescence (correlated to alpha synuclein protein aggregation) over time when 10 nM of active alpha synuclein preformed fibrils (GTX17669-pro) is combined with 100 μM of alpha synuclein monomer (GTX17668-pro), as compared to active alpha synuclein preformed fibrils (GTX17669-pro) alone and alpha synuclein monomer (GTX17668-pro) alone. Thioflavin T ex = 450 nm, em = 485 nm.
