The induction of an antibody response to amyloid beta (Abeta) peptide has become a strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). This has proven effective in reducing the plaque burden in transgenic mice that develop Abeta plaques similar to human AD patients. The mechanism for enhanced cl
## Abstract Data from Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and AD animal models demonstrate the accumulation of inflammatory microglia at sites of insoluble fibrillar β‐amyloid protein (fAβ) deposition. It is known that fAβ binds to CD36, a type B scavenger receptor also involved in internalization of
## Abstract It is not known whether an increased incidence of dementia in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) is due to a higher incidence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) or to “early” Alzheimer‐type pathology. To determine whether amyloid β‐peptide (Aβ) of AD occurs more frequently in brains of pat
