I have been trying to test the toxicity of Amyloid beta oligomers on neurons by measuring ROS. I am observing that the ROS response on exposure to these oligomers is highly variable when tested even in consecutive experiments as well as with the same oligomer preparation. I tried to characterise the oligomer preparations on Tricine gels which I found to be consistent every time. I want to ask what factors can be there behind this variable response and how to reduce them. Is it also observed by other researchers working in this field?
