Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) has recently been proposed as an aetiological factor of Alzheimer's disease (AD): ApoE is co-localized to amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain and binds to AP-protein in vitvo. An association of ApoE e4 allele with the development of AD has been reported.
## Abstract The etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) involves a significant inflammatory component as evidenced by the presence of elevated levels of a diverse range of proinflammatory molecules in the AD brain. These inflammatory molecules are produced principally by activated microglia, which are
Three loci that modify β-amyloid (Aβ) accumulation and deposition in the brains of a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease have been previously described. One encompasses the Psen2 gene encoding presenilin 2, a component of the γ-secretase activity responsible for generating Aβ by proteolysis. We show
