a, Analysis of the aggregation kinetics of Aβ40 incubated with different concentrations of K18ΔPHF6*, K18ΔPHF6, and K18ΔPHF6*ΔPHF6. The ThT intensity of tau fragments is presented with triangles. b, Values of tlag and t1/2. These values were calculated by fitting the ThT emission with a sigmoidal equation45. Conditions: [tau fragment] = 10, 50, and 100 μM; [Aβ40] = 10 μM; [DTT] = 0.35, 1.75, and 3.5 mM (35 equiv of each concentration of tau fragments); [ThT] = 5 μM; 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl; 37 °C; 250 rpm; λex = 440 nm; λem = 490 nm. All values in the ThT-sigmoidal graphs are indicated as mean ± s.e.m. for n = 7 examined over three independent experiments. The error values of tlag and t1/2 represent the fitting error.
