Abstract
Alpha-synuclein phosphorylated at serine 129 (PSER129) occurs in two pools, non-aggregated (physiological) and aggregated (disease). This protocol allows for the selective dephosphorylation of non-aggregated PSER129 and enhances the specificity and sensitivity immunodetection of aggregated PSER129. Thus, this protocol can be used to differentiate physiological from aggregated PSER129.
