Abstract excerpt
beta-Amyloid (beta A) is a normal metabolic product of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) that accumulates in senile plaques in Alzheimer's disease. Cells that express the Swedish mutant APP (Sw-APP) associated with early onset Alzheimer's disease overproduce beta A. In this report, we show that expression of Sw-APP gives rise to cell-associated beta A, which is not detected in cells that express wild-type APP....
