Abstract excerpt
Abnormally modified alpha-synuclein is a pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease and the other alpha-synucleinopathies. Since proteinase K (PK) treatment is known to enhance the immunoreactivity of abnormal alpha-synuclein, we immunohistochemically examined the brain of transgenic (Tg) mice expressing human mutant A53T alpha-synuclein using this retrieval method. PK treatment abolished the immunoreactivity...
