122 14997933 The present neuropathological study reports the second case of meningoencephalitis following immunization with amyloid-beta peptide in AD, and has been directed toward exploring mechanisms underlying decreased tau pathology in relation with amyloid deposit regression, and possible molecular bases involved in the inflammatory response following immunization.
123 14997933 Inflammatory infiltrates were composed of CD8+, CD4+, CD3+, CD5+ and, rarely, CD7+ lymphocytes, whereas B lymphocytes and T cytotoxic cells CD16, CD57, TIA and graenzyme were negative.
124 14997933 Reduced amyloid burden was accompanied by low amyloid-associated oxidative stress responses (reduced superoxide dismutase-1: SOD-1 expression) and by local inhibition of the stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK) and p38 kinase which are involved in tau phosphorylation.
125 14997933 These results support the amyloid cascade of tau phosphorylation in AD regarding phosphorylation of tau dependent on beta-amyloid deposition in neuritic plaques, but not of tau in neurofibrillary tangles and threads.
126 14997933 Furthermore, amyloid reduction was accompanied by increased expression of the PA28a/beta inductor, and of LMP7, LMP2 and MECL1 subunits of the immunoproteasome in microglial and inflammatory cells surrounding collapsed plaques, and in multinucleated giant cells.
127 15095177 In-vitro studies demonstrated that monoclonal antibodies could modulate the conformation of Abeta peptides with subsequent inhibition of amyloid fibrils formation and aggregation.
128 15170082 The most plausible mechanism for the treatment of AD is the reduction of the amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta) plaques, one of the pathological markers of AD, in the brain.
129 15170082 For this purpose, the inhibitors of beta-secretase and gamma-secretase, which cleave amyloid precursor protein (APP) to release Abeta, has been developed to interfere with APP processing.

148 15195462 Alzheimer disease (AD) is the most prevalent form of dementia worldwide and is characterized by the progressive accumulation of the 42-residue amyloid beta protein (A beta) in brain regions serving memory and cognition.
149 15215183 By Day 42, immunized animals generated plasma Abeta antibodies that labeled Abeta plaques in human, AD transgenic mouse and vervet brains; bound Abeta1-7; and recognized monomeric and oligomeric Abeta but not full-length amyloid precursor protein nor its C-terminal fragments.
150 15241501 The neuropathology of Alzheimer's disease(AD) is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid peptide Abeta in the brain derived from proteolytic cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP).

163 15294135 Clearing tau pathology with Abeta immunotherapy--reversible and irreversible stages revealed.
164 15294135 The report by Oddo and colleagues in this issue of Neuron demonstrates for the first time that clearance of amyloid also results in the removal of early-stage tau pathology in mice that develop both amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFT), the two hallmark lesions of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
165 15294141 Using a triple transgenic model (3xTg-AD) that develops both lesions in AD-relevant brain regions, we determined the consequence of Abeta clearance on the development of tau pathology.
166 15294141 Here we show that Abeta immunotherapy reduces not only extracellular Abeta plaques but also intracellular Abeta accumulation and most notably leads to the clearance of early tau pathology.
167 15294141 We find that Abeta deposits are cleared first and subsequently reemerge prior to the tau pathology, indicative of a hierarchical and direct relationship between Abeta and tau.
168 15294141 The clearance of the tau pathology is mediated by the proteasome and is dependent on the phosphorylation state of tau, as hyperphosphorylated tau aggregates are unaffected by the Abeta antibody treatment.

181 15342006 Clinical trials involving Abeta immunotherapy for AD are in progress and are providing a wealth of information around the amyloid hypothesis of AD.
182 15505369 A new oral vaccine for Alzheimer's disease was developed using recombinant adeno-associated virus vector carrying Abeta cDNA (AAV/Abeta).
183 15505369 This oral AAV/Abeta vaccine seems to be promising for prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
184 15505369 A new oral vaccine for Alzheimer's disease was developed using recombinant adeno-associated virus vector carrying Abeta cDNA (AAV/Abeta).
185 15505369 This oral AAV/Abeta vaccine seems to be promising for prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
186 15530403 For the fundamental treatment of AD, an amyloid beta protein (Abeta) vaccine is considered to be the most potent candidate.
187 15590151 Because Alzheimer's disease impacts multiple cognitive domains, the current study employed an extensive behavioral battery and multimetric analysis therein to determine the impact of Abeta immunization given throughout most of adult life (from 2-16 1/2 months of age) to APP+PS1 transgenic mice.
188 15590151 Results indicate that Abeta immunotherapy partially or completely protected APP+PS1 mice at both test points from otherwise impaired performance in a variety of tasks spanning multiple cognitive domains (reference learning/memory, working memory, search/recognition).

191 15606357 The authors demonstrated that a single intracerebroventricular injection of anti-Abeta antibody reduced the cerebral Abeta burden and Abeta-related astrocytosis, retarded reaccumulation of Abeta and restored Abeta-induced depletion of presynaptic SNAP-25, for at least 1 month and reduced inflammatory reactions for 1 week in AD murine models without producing inflammation, microhemorrhage or systemic histotoxicity.
192 15651289 Since active and passive immunization of amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene- transgenic mice showed significant reduction of beta amyloid deposits in the brain and the immunized mice showed improvement in cognitive functions, clinical trials were performed in US and Europe.
193 15653168 Given the participation of amyloid beta (Abeta) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis the derivation of experimental therapeutics to prevent Abeta fibrillogenesis and/or enhance removal of parenchymal amyloid deposits represent viable disease-modifying approaches.
194 15661919 Immunization of amyloid precursor protein transgenic mice with fibrillar beta-amyloid (Abeta) prevents Alzheimer's disease (AD)-like neuropathology.
195 15694248 We have previously demonstrated that intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of anti-Abeta (IgG1, kappa against the 1-28 region of Abeta) reduced cerebral amyloid plaques by 50% after 1 month without producing hemorrhage or activating IL-1beta responses in Tg2576 brain [N.B.

206 16126169 Induction of an immune response to amyloid beta-protein (Abeta) is effective in treating animal models of Alzheimer's disease.
207 16126169 Here, we show that an adenovirus vector encoding 11 tandem repeats of Abeta1-6 can induce an immune response against amyloid beta-protein.
208 16126169 Much higher titers against amyloid beta-protein were observed when an adenovirus vector encoding GM-CSF was co-administered.

215 16157426 In this study, we examine both humoral and cellular immune responses elicited by immunization with peptide or DNA encoding wild-type and the Flemish and Dutch mutations of ABeta42 (i.e. the beta amyloid peptide spanning amino acids 1-42) in mice of different immune haplotypes as well as HLA Class II transgenic mice.
216 16240877 The pivotal role of the proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) in neuronal death suggests pharmacological inhibition of the secretases; amyloid antiaggregant therapies are possible, vaccination against AB wil need new immunisation protocols, Anti-inflammatory drugs and antioxydant agents as calcium channel blockers could help against the neurotoxic cascade of Abeta, some cholesterol-lowering drugs could enhance its clearance.
217 16289870 According to the amyloid cascade hypothesis, deposition of Abeta is an initial and essential step in the pathogenesis of AD, and formation of NFT has been proposed to be caused by increased Abeta levels.
218 16293586 Vaccine-based approaches have been developed to target and eliminate amyloid beta (Abeta), a key peptide implicated in AD pathogenesis.
219 16310782 Beta amyloid (Abeta) is believed one of the major pathogens of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and the reduction of Abeta is considered a primary therapeutic target.
220 16322661 The major component of AD plaques is beta-amyloid, a 40 to 42 amino acid polypeptide derived from the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by proteolytic degradation involving the specific proteases, beta-and gamma-secretase acting at the N- and C- terminal cleavage site, respectively.
221 16447748 Furthermore, we present an oral Abeta vaccine therapy for Alzheimer's disease with the recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector that we developed.
222 16460841 A nonsignificant increase in CSF Abeta(1-40) and decrease in Abeta(1-40/1-42) in cortex was detected.
223 16489369 The extracellular amyloid plaque deposits are composed of a proteinacious core of insoluble aggregated amyloid-beta (Abeta) peptide and have led to the foundation of the amyloid hypothesis.
224 16672644 Immunization of human amyloid precursor protein, familial AD (hAPP(FAD)) mice with R-2xAbeta1-15 or 2xAbeta1-15 resulted in high anti-Abeta titers of noninflammatory T-helper 2 isotypes (IgG1 and IgG2b), a lack of splenocyte proliferation against full-length Abeta, significantly reduced Abeta plaque load, and lower cerebral Abeta levels.
225 16672644 In addition, 2xAbeta1-15-immunized hAPP(FAD) animals showed improved acquisition of memory compared with vehicle controls in a reference-memory Morris water-maze behavior test that approximately correlated with anti-Abeta titers.

228 16690718 Interestingly, a cholinesterase inhibitor currently in clinical trials, phenserine, has been shown to inhibit production of both amyloid precursor protein (APP) and A beta.
229 16690718 The focus of this study was to screen 144 analogs of phenserine to identify additional small molecules that inhibit APP protein synthesis, and thereby A beta production, without possessing potent acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity.

232 16769900 It was recently demonstrated that amyloid beta (Abeta) peptide vaccination was effective in reducing the Abeta burden in Alzheimer model mice.
233 16806604 In contrast, VLP-conjugated Abeta peptides elicited more balanced isotype responses, dominated by IgG1.
234 16888028 Following Abeta-VLP immunizations of APP/presenilin 1 transgenic mice, a model for human AD, we observed trends for reduced Abeta deposits in the brain and increased numbers of activated microglia.
235 16908970 In this study, we produced an Hsp70-supported vaccine to induce the generation of antibodies against amyloid-beta (Abeta) peptides, the major constituent of beta-amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease.
236 16908970 Prophylactic short-term immunization of transgenic mice (APP tg2576) before the onset of plaques, however, did not prevent amyloid plaque deposition.

239 16914852 The identification of disease-causing mutations in proteins such as amyloid-beta precursor protein (betaAPP) and presenilin1 (PS1), together with the discovery of other high risk factors (e.g., Apolipoprotein E4), as well as pathogenic mutations in the tau protein has led to the creation of several transgenic mice, including those expressing bi- and tri-genic constructs.
240 16936277 Experiments with amyloid-beta (Abeta)-42-immunized transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease have revealed amyloid plaque disruption and apparent cognitive function recovery.
241 16936277 Our experiments suggest that although immunization disrupted amyloid deposits, vascular capture prevented large-scale egress of Abeta peptides.

244 16972888 Resolution process of cerebroparenchymal amyloid beta-protein (Abeta) deposition has become of increasing interest in the light of recent advance in the Abeta-vaccination therapy for Alzheimer's disease (AD).
245 16972888 To clarify the natural removal processes of Abeta burden in the brain with AD, we devised a triple-step staining method: Bodian for dystrophic neurites, anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein for astrocytes, and anti-Abeta.

287 17086547 Because oligomeric Abeta is strongly correlated with synaptotoxicity, we investigated whether immunoneutralization of oligomeric Abeta will reverse synaptic deficits by analyzing presynaptic molecular marker (SNAP-25) profile within hippocampal dendritic fields, where SNAP-25 is abundantly expressed.

352 18221198 Main characteristics of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are massive cerebral accumulation of amyloid, composed of fibrillary aggregates of the Amyloid beta peptide (Abeta) and intracellular accumulation of abnormally phosphorylated tau protein associated with widespread neurodegeneration.
353 18534566 Antibodies to amyloid beta protein (Abeta) are present naturally or after Abeta vaccine therapy in human plasma.
354 18819685 The brain lesions associated with Alzheimer's disease are caused by extracellular accumulation of Abeta peptide and intracellular accumulation of tau protein.
355 18819685 The Abeta deposits first involve the neocortex, while the tau pathology is initially found in the hippocampal region.
356 18819685 Mutations of APP, the precursor of Abeta peptide, cause autosomal dominant familial Alzheimer disease, suggesting that a cascade of reactions link Abeta overproduction, tau pathology and the clinical phenotype.

373 19117607 The acute-phase protein (APP) response to an infection caused by Haemophilus parasuis, the etiological agent of Glässer's disease in pigs, was characterized measuring serum concentrations of pig major acute-phase protein (pig MAP), haptoglobin (HPT), C-reactive protein (CRP) and apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) in colostrum-deprived pigs.
374 19117607 The highest levels of the positive APPs (pig MAP, HPT and CRP) and the lowest levels of the negative APPs (ApoA-I) were observed in the animals that died as a consequence of the infection, both those in the non-immunized and in the immunized groups.
375 19221518 In 1999, Schenk et al. reported for the first time that amyloid beta (Abeta) deposits in AD model mice could be reduced by active vaccination with Abeta peptide.
376 19275636 According to the amyloid hypothesis, Abeta peptides initiate the other pathologies characteristic for AD including cognitive deficits.
377 19305740 However, clinical trials of anti-inflammatories have not shown effectiveness, and in recent years, the concept of immune therapy has become a treatment option as animal studies and clinical trials with Abeta vaccines have demonstrated enhanced amyloid removal through stimulation of microglial phagocytosis.This review will examine the current status of whether inhibiting inflammation is a valid therapeutic target for treating AD; what lessons have come from the clinical trials; what new pathways and classes of agents are being considered; and how this field of research can progress towards new therapeutics.
378 19464399 We also describe the existence of a novel epitope overlapping site I of AD-2 and AD-1, the immunodominant epitope of gB.
379 19553436 Shown to lower amyloid deposits and improve cognition in APP transgenic mouse models, immunotherapy appears to be a promising approach for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
380 19553436 Due to limitations in available animal models, however, it has been unclear whether targeting amyloid is sufficient to reduce the other pathological hallmarks of AD-namely, accumulation of pathological, nonmutated tau and neuronal loss.
381 19553436 These mice show amyloid pathology, hyperphosphorylated and aggregated normal mouse tau, significant neuron loss, and cognitive deficits.
382 19553436 Vaccinated APPSwDI/NOS2(-/-) mice, which have predominantly vascular amyloid pathology, showed a 30% decrease in brain A beta and a 35-45% reduction in hyperphosphorylated tau.
383 19553436 Nevertheless, by providing evidence that reducing amyloid pathology also reduces nonmutant tau pathology and blocks neuron loss, these data support the development of amyloid-lowering therapies for disease-modifying treatment of AD.
384 19865176 Recently, we reported that a DNA vaccine, composed of three copies of a self B cell epitope of amyloid-beta (Abeta(42)) and the foreign T-cell epitope, Pan DR epitope (PADRE), generated strong anti-Abeta immune responses in wild-type and amyloid precursor protein transgenic animals.
385 20012091 In the case of AD the normal soluble amyloid beta (sAbeta) peptide is converted into oligomeric/fibrillar Abeta.
386 20012091 The oligomeric forms of Abeta are thought to be the most toxic, while fibrillar Abeta becomes deposited as amyloid plaques and congophilic angiopathy, which both serve as neuropathological markers of the disease.
387 20012091 In the case of AD the normal soluble amyloid beta (sAbeta) peptide is converted into oligomeric/fibrillar Abeta.
388 20012091 The oligomeric forms of Abeta are thought to be the most toxic, while fibrillar Abeta becomes deposited as amyloid plaques and congophilic angiopathy, which both serve as neuropathological markers of the disease.
389 20030228 As a candidate of such antibodies, we have developed TAPIR-like antibody with much higher affinity to Abeta42 than Abeta40, and it effectively deleted senile plaque amyloid and Abeta oligomers without increasing microhemorrhages.
390 20066498 Virus-like peptide vaccines against Abeta N-terminal or C-terminal domains reduce amyloid deposition in APP transgenic mice without addition of adjuvant.
391 20139660 Based on the amyloid cascade hypothesis, various strategies targeting amyloid beta protein (Abeta) have been invented for prevention and treatment of Alzheimer disease (AD).
392 20205639 Moreover, if Abeta pathology drives tau pathology as reported in several transgenic animal models, and once established if tau pathology can become self propagating, then early intervention with anti-Abeta immunotherapy may be critical for favorable clinical outcomes.
393 20205641 In AD patients, "inflammaging" may be associated with an increase of incompetent memory T cells and inflammatory cytokines produced by macrophages, whereas defective clearance of amyloid-beta 1-42 (Abeta) may be related to defective transcription of immune genes necessary for Abeta phagocytosis, beta-1,4-mannosyl-glycoprotein 4-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase and Toll-like receptors.
394 20205640 Abeta immunotherapy has been shown to induce a marked reduction in amyloid burden and an improvement in cognitive function in animal models.
395 20370602 We review attempts to treat Alzheimer disease with antibodies that bind amyloid beta peptide (Abeta) and the feasibility of developing catalytic antibodies for this purpose.
396 20451612 After multiple immunizations the antibody response drifted toward the elevation of antibodies that recognized conformational epitopes of assembled forms of Abeta and other types of amyloid.
397 20471477 In AD, the normal soluble amyloid beta (sAbeta) peptide is converted into oligomeric/fibrillar Abeta.
398 20471477 The oligomeric forms of Abeta are thought to be the most toxic, while fibrillar Abeta becomes deposited as amyloid plaques and congophilic angiopathy, which both serve as neuropathological markers of the disease.
399 20471477 Perhaps the most exciting of the therapeutic approaches being developed is immunomodulation targeting the aggregating proteins, Abeta and tau.

406 20493257 Vaccination has become an important therapeutic approach to the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD), however, immunization with Abeta amyloid can have unwanted, potentially lethal, side effects.
407 20493257 SDPM1 is a 20 amino acid peptide bounded by cysteines that binds tetramer forms of Abeta(1-40)- and Abeta(1-42)-amyloids and blocks subsequent Abeta amyloid aggregation.
408 20493257 When done prior to the onset of amyloid plaque formation, SDPM1 vaccination of APPswePSEN1(A246E) transgenic mice reduced amyloid plaque burden and Abeta(1-40) and Abeta(1-42) levels in the brain, improved cognitive performance in Morris water maze tests, and resulted in no increased T cell responses to immunogenic or Abeta peptides or brain inflammation.
409 20493257 When done after plaque burden was already significant, SDPM1 immunization still significantly reduced amyloid plaque burden and Abeta(1-40/1-42) peptide levels in APPswePSEN1(A246E) brain without inducing encephalitogenic T cell responses or brain inflammation, but treatment at this stage did not improve cognitive function.

556 25214033 The asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) is a high-capacity C-type lectin receptor expressed on mammalian hepatocytes.
557 25214033 Proteoglycans (PGs), a core protein and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) chain, play important roles in amyloid-beta protein as well as tau processing, and have potential significance in Alzheimer's disease (AD) therapy.
558 25424812 In the investigation reported here an Aβ 1-42 peptide vaccine was administered to 16-month old APP+PS1 transgenic (Tg) mice in which Aβ deposition, cognitive memory deficits as well as levels of several pro-inflammatory cytokines were measured in response to the vaccination regimen.
559 25424812 After vaccination, the anti-Aβ 1-42 antibody-producing mice demonstrated a significant reduction in the sera levels of 4 pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1 α, and IL-12).
560 25611858 Administration of AFFITOPE-vaccines to APP-transgenic mice was found to reduce their cerebral amyloid burden, the associated neuropathological alterations and to improve their cognitive functions.
561 25748120 Thus missense, splice site or duplication mutants in the presenilin 1 (PS1), presenilin 2 (PS2) or the amyloid precursor protein (APP) genes, which alter the levels or shift the balance of Aβ produced, are associated with rare, highly penetrant autosomal dominant forms of Familial Alzheimer's Disease (FAD).
562 25748120 Similarly, the more prevalent late-onset forms of AD are associated with both coding and non-coding variants in genes such as SORL1, PICALM and ABCA7 that affect the production and clearance of Aβ.
563 25759822 A comparative evaluation of a novel vaccine in APP/PS1 mouse models of Alzheimer's disease.
564 25759822 With the aim of developing an active immunogenic vaccine without need of coadjuvant modification for human trials and therefore avoiding such side effects, we designed the Aβ 1-42 vaccine (EB101), delivered in a liposomal matrix, that based on our previous studies significantly prevents and reverses the AD neuropathology, clearing Aβ plaques while markedly reducing neuronal degeneration, behavioral deficits, and minimizing neuroinflammation in APP/PS1 transgenic mice.
