## Abstract Amyloid formation plays a central role in the cause and progression of Alzheimer's disease. The major component of this amyloid is the amyloid‐β (Aβ) peptide, which is currently the subject of intense study. This review discusses some recent studies in the area of Aβ synthesis, purifica

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
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
## 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
