Abstract excerpt
Individuals expressing an APOE4 genotype demonstrate increased Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuropathology and a decreased onset age. The APOE4 gene may act by modulating the CNS immune response. Using human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM), we show a significantly greater increase in NO production during immune activation in MDM from APOE4 AD patients compared to normal, age-matched individuals or to AD patients...
