Abstract excerpt
In humans, apolipoprotein E (apoE) has three major isoforms, E2 (Cys112, Cys158), E3 (Cys112, Arg158), and E4 (Arg112, Arg158). While epsilon4 is a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), epsilon2 may protect against late-onset AD. Using native preparations of apoE from conditioned tissue culture media or plasma lipoproteins, we have previously shown that when equivalent amounts of apoE3 or E4 were...
