Abstract excerpt
A specific mutation (A53T) in the encoding region for alpha-synuclein has been identified in a large multigenerational family with an autosomal dominant parkinsonism known as the Contursi kindred. In this study, we used a monoclonal antibody directed against alpha-synuclein in order to identify novel proteins in the brain of an affected member of this kindred who had come to autopsy. Homogenates from the frontal...
