Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation and quantification of soluble Alzheimer's β-peptide from biological fluids

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Aβ is produced and released both in vivo and in vitro, and new opportunities for developing diagnostic tests for Alzheimer's disease and therapeutic strategies aimed at reducing the cerebral deposition of Aβ are offered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Purification and cloning of amyloid precursor protein beta-secretase from human brain.

TL;DR: A membrane-bound enzyme activity that cleaves full-length APP at the β-secretase cleavage site is described and found to be the predominant β-cleavage activity in human brain, and it is found that human brain β- secretase is a new membrane- bound aspartic proteinase.
Journal ArticleDOI

The secreted form of the Alzheimer's amyloid precursor protein with the Kunitz domain is protease nexin-II.

TL;DR: The deduced amino-terminal sequence of APP is iden-tical to the sequence of a cell-secreted protease inhibitor, protease nexin-II (PN-II)8, and it is concluded that the secreted form of APP with the Kunitz protease inhibitors domain is PN-II.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cells with a familial Alzheimer's disease mutation produce authentic beta-peptide.

TL;DR: It is suggested that this cellular system may be useful for mechanistic studies of A beta generation and possibly for the development of therapeutic agents to treat AD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial DNA of human-mouse cell hybrids.

TL;DR: It is shown that hamster–mouse hybrids synthesized both hamster and mouse ribosomal RNA, and this paper is the first to show this result in detail.
