Papillomavirus-Like Particles Are an Effective Platform for Amyloid-β Immunization in Rabbits and Transgenic Mice
1 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
Immunization with amyloid-beta (Abeta) prevents the deposition of Abeta in the brain and memory deficits in transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (AD), opening the possibility for immunotherapy of AD in humans. Unfortunately, the first human trial of Abeta vaccination was complicated, in a small number of vaccinees, by cell-mediated meningoencephalitis. To develop an Abeta vaccine that lacks the...
