SUITE DE L'HISTOIRE: quantification
de la dégénérescence neurofibrillaire au cours du
vieillissement cérébral et de la maladie d'Alzheimer
Using western blots, we have compared the
analysis of brain homogenates from Alzheimer patients (A1 to A6) versus
aged-matched controls (C1 to C6). The tissue is sampled in the parietal
cortex.
We have specifically revealed the content of pathological tau proteins.
It is clear that pathological tau proteins are highly concentrated in Alzheimer brain extracts, but not in the normal brain tissue. It shows that aggregated tau proteins are excellent markers of Alzheimer's disease degenerating process.
