Abstract excerpt
We have biochemically purified A beta from brains of two unrelated familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) pedigrees with the APP717 mutation (Val-->Ile) and from two sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains and characterized them by means of mass spectrometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
