  • Title: Label-Free Fluorescence Spectroscopy for Detecting Key Biomolecules in Brain Tissue from a Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease.
    Author: Shi L, Lu L, Harvey G, Harvey T, Rodríguez-Contreras A, Alfano RR.
    Journal: Sci Rep; 2017 Jun 01; 7(1):2599. PubMed ID: 28572632.
    Abstract:
    In this study, label-free fluorescence spectroscopy was used for the first time to determine spectral profiles of tryptophan, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), and flavin denine dinucleotide (FAD) in fresh brain samples of a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Our results showed that the emission spectral profile levels of tryptophan and NADH were higher in AD samples than normal samples. The intensity ratio of tryptophan to NADH and the change rate of fluorescence intensity with respect to wavelength also increased in AD brain. These results yield an optical method for detecting early stage of AD by comparing spectral profiles of biomolecules.
