Abstract excerpt
Activated microglia are a prominent component of the senile plaques in end-stage Alzheimer's disease, but whether microglia contribute to the initiation of the lesions remains unknown. In a previous postmortem study of non-demented elderly cases, we found that amyloidogenesis is advanced by at least 10 years in carriers of the apoEepsilon4 allele. To determine whether microglia are involved in the initial stages...
