An in vitro paradigm to assess potential anti-Aβ antibodies for Alzheimer’s disease

Abstract excerpt

Although the amyloid β-protein (Aβ) is believed to play an initiating role in Alzheimer's disease (AD), the molecular characteristics of the key pathogenic Aβ forms are not well understood. As a result, it has proved difficult to identify optimal agents that target disease-relevant forms of Aβ. Here, we combined the use of Aβ-rich aqueous extracts of brain samples from AD patients as a source of human Aβ and...
