Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have shown that transgenic (Tg) mice overexpressing human tau protein develop filamentous tau aggregates in the CNS. The most abundant tau aggregates are found in spinal cord and brainstem in which they colocalize with neurofilaments (NFs) as spheroids in axons. To elucidate the role of NF subunit proteins in tau aggregate formation and to test the hypothesis that NFs are pathological chaperones...
