Cerebral cortical Aβ42 and PHF-τ in 325 consecutive brain autopsies stratified by diagnosis, location, and APOE.

Abstract excerpt

We used a novel approach to molecular quantification in standard fixed and embedded tissue to measure amyloid β 42 (Aβ(42)) and paired helical filament-τ (PHF-τ) in frontal, temporal, and parietal cortices from 325 consecutive brain autopsies collected as part of a population-based study of brain aging and incident dementia in the Seattle area. We observed significant effects of APOE ε4 on Aβ(42) levels in both...
