Abstract excerpt
A transfection product incorporates in one molecule of human DNA, an inserted segment of DNA from another species. This communication addresses the hypothesis that a novel variation of the theme of transfection, namely "junk transfection" for which no protein product and no RNA is transcribed, might offer insights into the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. It is hypothesized that spirochetal DNA gains access...
