Progressive cerebral deposition of -amyloid peptide either in blood vessels or around neurites is one of the most important features of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The -peptide, known as A or A4, is produced by proteolytic cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Two APP processing pathways

Increased synthesis and release of Sloop protein from activated astrocytes has been implicated in the overgrowth of dystrophic neurites in neuritic plaques in Alzheimer disease (AD). To evaluate the quantitative relationships between tissues levels of Sloop and the numbers of neuritic plaques in AD
The production of P-amyloid precursor protein (PAPP) in cultured oligodendrocytes isolated from adult bovine brains was examined by immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting. Immunostaining of oligodendrocytes with antibodies specific for the carboxy terminus of p APP demonstrated positive immunoreact
