Fibrillogenic Nuclei Composed of P301L Mutant Tau Induce Elongation of P301L Tau but Not Wild-type Tau
26 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
Frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17), an autosomal, dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by tau gene mutations, is neuropathologically characterized by intraneuronal filamentous inclusions of hyperphosphorylated tau protein. Biochemical and immunocytochemical analyses have shown that only mutant tau is deposited in patients harboring P301L missense mutation,...
