A new ELISA specific for oligomeric assemblies of amyloid β protein (oAβ) was developed to examine in vivo levels of oAβ vs. monomeric Aβ in sporadic and familial Alzheimer disease (AD) plasma and brain tissue. To establish the oAβ ELISA, the same N-terminal Aβ antibody was used for antigen capture and detection. Plasmas and postmortem brains from AD and control subjects were systematically analyzed by conventional monomeric Aβ and new oAβ ELISAs. We measured oAβ species in plasma samples from 36 clinically well-characterized AD patients and 10 controls. In addition, postmortem samples were obtained from brain autopsies of 9 verified AD and 7 control subjects. The specificity of oAβ ELISA was validated with a disulfide crossed-linked, synthetic Aβ1–40Ser26Cys dimer that was specifically detected before but not after the dissociation of the dimers in β-mercaptoethanol. Plasma assays showed that relative oAβ levels were closely associated with relative Aβ42 monomer levels across all subjects. Analysis of sequential plasma samples from a subset of the AD patients, including a patient with AD caused by a presenilin mutation, revealed decreases in both oAβ and Aβ42 monomer levels over a 1–2 year period. In brain tissue from 9 AD and 7 control subjects, both oAβ and monomeric Aβ42 were consistently higher in the AD cases. An oAβ-specific ELISA reveals a tight link between oAβ and Aβ42 monomer levels in plasma and brain, and both forms can decline over time in plasma, presumably reflecting their increasing insolubility in the brain.
