Journal ArticleDOI

Immunization with amyloid-beta attenuates Alzheimer-disease-like pathology in the PDAPP mouse.

TL;DR: It is reported that immunization of the young animals essentially prevented the development of β-amyloid-plaque formation, neuritic dystrophy and astrogliosis, and treatment of the older animals markedly reduced the extent and progression of these AD-like neuropathologies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Peripherally administered antibodies against amyloid beta-peptide enter the central nervous system and reduce pathology in a mouse model of Alzheimer disease.

TL;DR: Results indicate that antibodies can cross the blood–brain barrier to act directly in the central nervous system and should be considered as a therapeutic approach for the treatment of Alzheimer disease and other neurological disorders.
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.
