Behavioral Assessment of Alzheimer's Transgenic Mice Following Long-Term A β Vaccination: Task Specificity and Correlations between A β Deposition and Spatial Memory

Abstract excerpt

Long-term vaccinations with human beta-amyloid peptide 1-42 (Abeta1-42) have recently been shown to prevent or markedly reduce Abeta deposition in the PDAPP transgenic model of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Using a similar protocol to vaccinate 7.5-month-old APP (Tg2576) and APP+PS1 transgenic mice over an 8-month period, we previously reported modest reductions in brain Abeta deposition at 16 months. In these same...
