Oligomeric tau species are important in the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) as they are neurotoxic and can propagate tau tangle pathology. Therefore reagents that selectively recognize different key morphologies of tau are needed to help define the role of tau in AD and related diseases. We utilized a biopanning protocol that combines the binding diversity of phage-displayed antibody libraries with the powerful imaging capability of atomic force microscopy (AFM) to isolate single chain antibody fragments (scFvs) that selectively bind toxic oligomeric tau. We isolated three different antibody fragments that bind oligomeric but not monomeric or fibrillar tau. The scFvs differentiate brain tissue homogenates of both 3×TG and tau-AD mice from wild type mice, detecting oligomeric tau at much earlier ages than when neurofibrillary tangles are typically detected. The scFvs also distinguish human post-mortem AD brain tissue from cognitively normal post-mortem human brain tissue demonstrating the potential of this approach for developing biomarkers for early detection and progression of AD.
