Abstract excerpt
Proteomic and immunochemical analyses have shown that hyperphosphorylated TDP-43 is a major component of ubiquitin-positive inclusions from brain of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) patients. In 2008, TDP-43 gene mutations were discovered in familial and sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), indicating that TDP-43 protein abnormality is associated with neurodegeneration. We raised antibodies...
