Open AccessEnhancement of therapeutic potential of a naturally occurring human antibody targeting a phosphorylated Ser422 containing epitope on pathological tau
Aggregation of tau protein and spreading of tau aggregates are pivotal pathological processes in a range of neurological disorders. Accumulating evidence suggests that immunotherapy targeting tau may be a viab...

Open AccessA common antigenic motif recognized by naturally occurring human VH5–51/VL4–1 anti-tau antibodies with distinct functionalities
Misfolding and aggregation of tau protein are closely associated with the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). By interrogating IgG+ memory B cells from asymptomatic donors with tau peptides, we hav...

Acute function of secreted amyloid precursor protein fragment APPsα in synaptic plasticity
The key role of APP in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease is well established. However, postnatal lethality of double knockout mice has so far precluded the analysis of the physiological functions of APP an...

Characterization of Aβ11-40/42 peptide deposition in Alzheimer’s disease and young Down’s syndrome brains: implication of N-terminally truncated Aβ species in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease
Senile plaques (SPs), one of two defining lesions of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), are composed of a mixture of full-length Aβ1-40/42, and N- or C-terminally truncated Aβ peptides, including Aβ11-40/42. Sequential...

Monoclonal antibodies with selective specificity for Alzheimer Tau are directed against phosphatase-sensitive epitopes
A modified form of the microtubule-associated protein Tau is the major component of the paired helical filaments (PHF) found in Alzheimer's disease. The characterization of these posttranslational Tau modifica...
