Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia in the elderly, wherein, the accumulation of amyloid beta (Abeta) peptide as cytotoxic oligomers leads to neuropathologic changes.

However, such active immunization in humans led to a small but significant occurrence of...
