Maternal antibodies facilitate Amyloid-β clearance by activating Fc-receptor-Syk-mediated phagocytosis
2020-09-22
Abstract excerpt
Down Syndrome (DS) features a life-long overexpression of the APP and DYRK1A genes, leading to a cognitive decline mediated by Amyloid-β (Aβ) overproduction and tau hyper-phosphorylation. As DS can be diagnosed in utero, maternally transferred anti-Aβ antibodies might promote removal of early accumulation of Aβ from the CNS. A DNA-vaccine expressing Aβ 1-11 was delivered to wild-type female mice, followed by ma...
