Abstract excerpt
The extent of deposition of amyloid beta protein (A beta) was investigated in 20 elderly patients with Down's syndrome, using the end-specific monoclonal antibodies BC05 and BA27 to detect the presence of A beta 42(43) and A beta 40 (respectively), and related to apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genotype. No significant differences in the amount of A beta deposited in the brain, either as A beta 42(43) or A beta 40, were...
