Apolipoprotein E facilitates neuritic and cerebrovascular plaque formation in an Alzheimer's disease model
1 Jun 2000
Abstract excerpt
The epsilon4 allele of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is an important genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Increasing evidence suggests that this association may be linked to the ability of ApoE to interact with the amyloid-beta (Abeta) peptide and influence its concentration and structure. To determine the effect of ApoE on Abeta and other AD pathology in vivo, we used APPsw transgenic mice and ApoE...
