CD40 deficiency mitigates Alzheimer's disease pathology in transgenic mouse models
24 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that transgenic mice carrying a mutant human APP but deficient in CD40L, display a decrease in astrocytosis and microgliosis associated with a lower amount of deposited Abeta. Furthermore, an anti-CD40L treatment causes a diminution of Abeta pathology in the brain and an improved performance in several cognitive tasks in the double transgenic PSAPP mouse model. Although these data suggest...
