Thioflavin T is a fluorescent dye that can bind to β-fold-rich structures and is often used to measure protein fibrillation. Once bound, the emission spectrum of Thioflavin T will be red-shifted and the fluorescence intensity will increase, which can also be used to detect fibril formation. Here is a reference protocol for Aβ fibrils detection[2][3]:
Guide (The following is the experimental plan we recommend. This plan serves only as a reference guide. The specific operations should be adjusted according to your actual needs.)
1. Prepare a 1 mM Thioflavin T stock solution in distilled water.
2. Prepare a mixed sample containing LMW Aβ42 (5.5 μM), Thioflavin T solution (20 μM), and NaCl (100 mM).
3. The mixtures were prepared in a 96-well half-area microplate. Seal the well plate and place it in a shaking incubator at 37°C for indicated time.
4. Shake for 20 seconds before testing. Set the excitation light to 450 nm and the emission light to 485 nm. Read the fluorescence value using a microplate reader.

プロトコル
Thioflavin T (ThT) is prepared by dissolving ~3 mg dry powder in 1 mL water. The solution is filtered through 0.22 μm syringe filters followed by measurement of the concentration by diluting the stock solution in ethanol and using an extinction coefficient of 26,620 M-1 cm-1 at 416 nm. The stock solution is stored at 4 °C covered with foil and used for up to a month to make assay solutions by diluting either in water or desired buffer[1].
Thioflavin T (ThT) fluorescence emission is measured with excitation at 450 nm and recording the spectrum between 465 and 565 nm with 5 nm slits using a FluoroMax 2 spectrofluorometer. The excitation spectra are collected by setting the emission wavelength to 482 nm and collecting the spectrum between 300 and 470 nm with 5 nm slit widths, and 1 s integration time and 1 nm interval. Emission spectra between 465 and 565 nm are collected upon excitation at 450 nm. Excitation and emission spectra in the presence of amyloid fibrils are measured with varying concentrations of Thioflavin T and 5 ng/mL amyloid (calculated based on starting protein concentration) before collecting the spectra[1].
