Abstract excerpt
Recent studies suggest that soluble intermediates formed during amyloid beta-protein (Abeta) fibrillogenesis are neurotoxic. We studied early aggregation assemblies of wild-type and mutant Abeta bearing the E22G ("Arctic") familial Alzheimer's disease mutation. Using a novel method to present purified, disaggregated Abeta peptides to primary cortical neurons, the detailed temporal pattern of neurotoxicity was...
