Primary cultures of neuronal and non-neuronal rat brain cells secrete similar proportions of amyloid β peptides ending at Aβ40 and Aβ42
1 Sept 1999
Abstract excerpt
To determine the types of brain cells responsible for the production of amyloid beta peptides (A beta), as well as their carboxyl-terminal properties, we studied the secretion of A beta in rat neuronal, astrocytic, microglial and meningeal primary cell cultures. All four types of cells produced A beta, among which neurons secreted approximately 4 times more A beta than other cell types. The percentage of A beta42...
