Abstract excerpt
Transgenic (Tg) mouse models overexpressing amyloid precursor protein (APP) develop senile plaques similar to those found in Alzheimer's disease in an age-dependent manner. Recent reports demonstrated that immunotherapy is effective at preventing or removing amyloid-beta deposits in the mouse models. To characterize the mechanisms involved in clearance, we used antibodies of either IgG1 (10d5) or IgG2b (3d6)...
