Our innovative in vitro tau clearance assay provides researchers with a reliable and efficient method to quantify tau protein removal. This assay is designed for ease of use and high throughput, allowing for rapid screening of potential therapeutic compounds and a deeper understanding of tau clearance mechanisms. For further information regarding the products and services provided, project-specific consultation, and pricing, please submit an inquiry here.
Mechanism of Tau Protein Clearance
Tau protein is mainly cleared by the following pathways:
- Lysosomal degradation: Tau protein can enter lysosomes by endocytosis and then be degraded by hydrolases.
- Immune-mediated clearance: Antibodies can recognize and bind to tau protein, which is then cleared by the immune system.
- Phagocytosis by astrocytes and microglia: Astrocytes and microglia can engulf and degrade extracellular tau protein, a process that is particularly important in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
- Peripheral pathway: Tau protein produced in the brain can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) into the peripheral circulation and be cleared by the
Tau Clearance Assays at Creative Biolabs
- Multi-dimensional Model Validation
Unlock the complexities of tau clearance with our advanced neuronal cell culture models. We offer both primary neuronal cells and human iPSC-derived neurons, providing researchers with versatile tools to investigate tau degradation pathways, screen potential therapeutics, and gain deeper insights into neurodegenerative diseases. Our rigorously characterized cell models ensure reliable and reproducible results, accelerating your research towards effective treatments.
- Microglial Phagocytosis Mediated by Antibodies
Creative Biolabs is leading the way in tau-focused immunotherapy with our novel anti-tau antibodies. These highly specific antibodies stimulate microglial phagocytosis, effectively clearing toxic tau aggregates and opening new avenues for therapeutic intervention in AD and related tauopathies. Our commitment to rigorous testing ensures researchers have access to a reliable and innovative tool.

- PROTAC Targeted Small Molecule Degradation Technology
Harness the power of targeted protein degradation with proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) technology targeting tau protein. PROTACs selectively degrade tau, offering a novel therapeutic strategy for AD and other tauopathies. This cutting-edge approach allows for precise control of tau levels, enabling researchers to explore new avenues for disease intervention.
