Multiple isoforms of human microtubule-associated protein tau: sequences and localization in neurofibrillary tangles of Alzheimer's disease
TLDR
Antisera raised against synthetic peptides corresponding to these different human tau isoforms demonstrate that multiple tau protein isoforms are incorporated into the neurofibrillary tangles of Alzheimer's disease.About:

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors sequenced tau in FTDP-17 families and identified three missense mutations (G272V, P301L and R406W) and three mutations in the 5' splice site of exon in

α-Synuclein in filamentous inclusions of Lewy bodies from Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies
TL;DR: It is shown thatLewy bodies and Lewy neurites from Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies are stained strongly by antibodies directed against amino- terminal and carboxyl-terminal sequences of α-synuclein, showing the presence of full- length or close to full-length α- synuclein.

Tau protein isoforms, phosphorylation and role in neurodegenerative disorders
TL;DR: Tau proteins are the major constituents of intraneuronal and glial fibrillar lesions described in Alzheimer's disease and numerous neurodegenerative disorders referred as 'tauopathies' as discussed by the authors.

DNA sequencing with chain-terminating inhibitors
TL;DR: A new method for determining nucleotide sequences in DNA is described, which makes use of the 2',3'-dideoxy and arabinon nucleoside analogues of the normal deoxynucleoside triphosphates, which act as specific chain-terminating inhibitors of DNA polymerase.

A technique for radiolabeling DNA restriction endonuclease fragments to high specific activity
TL;DR: A technique for conveniently radiolabeling DNA restriction endonuclease fragments to high specific activity is described, and these "oligolabeled" DNA fragments serve as efficient probes in filter hybridization experiments.
A technique for radiolabeling DNA restriction endonuclease fragments to high specific activity
TL;DR: In this article, a technique for conveniently radiolabeling DNA restriction endonuclease fragments to high specific activity is described, where DNA fragments are purified from agarose gels directly by ethanol precipitation and are then denatured and labeled with the large fragment of DNA polymerase I, using random oligonucleotides as primers.

Efficient in vitro synthesis of biologically active RNA and RNA hybridization probes from plasmids containing a bacteriophage SP6 promoter
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple and efficient method for synthesizing pure single stranded RNAs of virtually any structure is described, based on the unusually specific RNA synthesis by bacteriophage SP6 RNA polymerase which initiates transcription exclusively at an SP6 promoter.

A protein factor essential for microtubule assembly
TL;DR: The unique ability of tau to restore the normal features of in vitro microtubules assembly makes it likely that tau is a major regulator of microtubule formation in cells.
