Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains contain high levels of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs). Double immunostaining using anti-AGE and anti-apolipoprotein E (apoE) antibodies demonstrated that AGEs co-localized to a very high degree with apoE. We examined the binding of apoE to in vitro-prepared AGE-bovine serum albumin (AGE-BSA), using Western ligand blot analysis. ApoE exhibited AGE-specific binding activity in...
