Abstract excerpt
Lewy bodies are found in Parkinson disease and related disorders and are extensively phosphorylated at Ser-129 (S129), but whether S129 phosphorylation mediates alpha-synuclein aggregation and neurotoxicity has been controversial. We used recombinant adeno-associated virus to overexpress alpha-synuclein in the rat nigrostriatal system. Rats were injected with recombinant adeno-associated virus 2/8 expressing...
