Neurotoxic effects of thioflavin S-positive amyloid deposits in transgenic mice and Alzheimer's disease
9 Oct 2002
Abstract excerpt
Despite extensive deposition of putatively neurotoxic amyloid-beta (Abeta) protein in the brain, it has not been possible to demonstrate an association of Abeta deposits with neuronal loss in Alzheimer's disease (AD), and neuronal loss is minimal in transgenic mouse models of AD. Using triple immunostaining confocal microscopy and analyzing the images with the cross-correlation density map method from statistical...
