Contribution of complement activation pathways to neuropathology differs among mouse models of Alzheimer's disease
15 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Complement proteins and activation products have been found associated with neuropathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recently, a C5a receptor antagonist was shown to suppress neuropathology in two murine models of AD, Tg2576 and 3xTg. Previously, a genetic deficiency of C1q in the Tg2576 mouse model showed an accumulation of fibrillar plaques similar to the complement sufficient Tg2576, but...
