Wenk,Tony Wyss-Coray +36 more
TL;DR: By better understanding AD inflammatory and immunoregulatory processes, it should be possible to develop anti-inflammatory approaches that may not cure AD but will likely help slow the progression or delay the onset of this devastating disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complement activation by beta-amyloid in Alzheimer disease
Joseph Rogers,Neil R. Cooper,Scott D. Webster,James Schultz,Patrick L. McGeer,S D Styren,W H Civin,Libuse Brachova,B Bradt,P Ward +9 more
TL;DR: Direct in vitro evidence that beta-AP can bind and activate the classical complement cytolytic pathway in the absence of antibody and indirect in situ evidence that such actions occur in the AD brain in association with areas of AD pathology are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular and Cellular Characterization of the Membrane Attack Complex, C5b-9, in Alzheimer’s Disease
Scott D. Webster,Lih-Fen Lue,Libuse Brachova,Andrea J. Tenner,Patrick L. McGeer,Kazuhiro Terai,David G. Walker,B Bradt,Neil R. Cooper,Joseph Rogers +9 more
TL;DR: C5b-9 is abundantly present in Alzheimer's disease cortex, associated with neurofibrillary tangle containing neurons, dystrophic neurites within neuritic plaques, and neuropil threads, but is weakly detected, if at all, in nondemented elderly cortex under the same conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complement-dependent Proinflammatory Properties of the Alzheimer's Disease β-Peptide
TL;DR: It is reported that Aβ peptides directly and independently activate the alternative complement pathway as well as the classical complement pathway; trigger the formation of covalent, ester-linked complexes of Aβ with activation products of the third complement component (C3), and mediate formation of the proinflammatory C5b-9 membrane attack complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complement activation by neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer's disease.
Yong Shen,Lih-Fen Lue,Libang Yang,Alex E. Roher,Yu Min Kuo,Ronald Strohmeyer,Warren J. Goux,Virginia M.-Y. Lee,Gail V.W. Johnson,Scott D. Webster,Neil R. Cooper,B Bradt,Joseph Rogers +12 more
TL;DR: In vitro and in situ evidence is presented that, like amyloid beta peptide (Abeta), tau, the major protein constituent of the neurofibrillary tangle, is a potent, antibody-independent activator of the classical complement pathway.
