Alzheimer’s Disease

Human and Mouse

Easily assess and monitor primary molecular characteristics of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) with 770 standardized genes covering 30 clinically derived AD-associated modules discovered in the AMP-AD consortium study of human brain tissue. The AD panel from NanoString allows researchers to reliably assay AD phenotypes and disease progression for mouse model development and human tissue screening.

Benefits

01

Reproducibly translate mouse models of AD to human disease with 770 standardized genes.

02

Comprehensive assessment of 30 AD-associated gene co-expression modules including 23 neurodegeneration pathways and processes.

03

Perform in vivo screening of potential therapeutics with an efficient and translational workflow to potentially reduce time to the clinic.

04

Monitor disease progression with age and characterize AD.

Details & data

AMP-AD program derived content

The content included in the Human and Mouse Alzheimer’s Disease panels represent a transcriptomic fingerprint of AD-related changes that can be directly compared to studies of mouse models of disease and back to human tissue. These pathways and processes assigned to the 770 genes included in the panels assist in providing additional insight into important aspects of the onset, progression and characterization of AD. Panel design is based on work done by the AMP-AD Consortium, a program of the Accelerating Medicines Partnership (AMP) focused on Alzheimer’s research.

Brain Region Coverage

RNA-seq was used to analyze 7 brain regions from 3 AD studies for clusters of co-expressed genes. The goal was identifying correlations with known biological functions and cell types. The annotations included in the panel represent the resulting gene expression clusters, or modules. They are named by the brain region they were discovered in and assigned a color. The content of the panel suggests co-expression of genes related to neurons, microglia and astrocytes.
