Abstract: Objective  To analyze the specificity of five monoclonal antibodies 1C16, 2B8, 2P21, 3O18 and 1J6 that recognize α-synuclein (α-syn) N-terminal domains, to provide antibody support for early diagnosis and immunotherapy of Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods  We generated human α-syn(h-α-syn), mouse α-syn (m-α-syn), β-syn, N-terminus human α-syn (α-syn/N) and delete N-terminus human α-syn (α-syn/ΔN) protein using recombinant protein purification technology in vitro. The specific recognition domains of the five monoclonal antibodies were detected by dot blotting. Using Western blotting to detect the denatured α-syn from purified protein and mice brain. Results  Antibody 1C16 recognized h-α-syn proteins in native form and h-α-syn protein in the mice brain in denatured form rather than m-α-syn and β-syn. Antibody 1J6 could recognize h-α-syn and α-syn/N protein in native form rather than full-length α-syn protein and h-α-syn protein in the mouse brain in denatured form. Conclusion  The two selected antibodies are specific to human α-syn, which provide the basis for the detection of biomarkers by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and can be used for immunotherapy in PD.
