Two monoclonal antibodies C5 and M4 raised against Sarkosyl-insoluble paired helical filaments (PHF) specifically labeled fetal tau, but hardly labeled normal adult tau. C5 immunoreactivity was eliminated by alkaline phosphatase treatment at 37-degrees-C, whereas M4 reactivity could be removed only by the treatment at 67-degrees-C. Epitope analysis showed that C5 and M4 recognition sites are in residues 386-406 and 198-250, respectively, according to the numbering of the longest human tau isoform. Thus, the phosphorylation sites are located in the amino- and carboxyl-terminal portions of the microtubule-binding region. These two well-characterized monoclonals should be valuable in the identification of a protein kinase(s) that converts normal tau into PHF-tau.
