Efficacy and safety of immunization with phosphorylated tau against neurofibrillary tangles in mice
Abstract
As an abnormally folded and aggregated protein, tau composed of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies seems to be a candidate for immunotherapy. Yet, the encephalitogenicity of full-length tau protein, recently reported by us in immunized mice, demands to carefully and selectively target pathological tau and address both efficacy (anti-NFT effect) and safety (free of encephalitis). We immunized NFT mice with NFT-related phosphorylated (phos) tau peptides, using an immunization protocol aimed to predispose a proinflammatory milieu in CNS as a set up to detect biohazard, an approach we used when the neurotoxicity of full-length tau was detected [use of complete Freund adjuvant (CFA) with pertussis toxin (PT)]. A decrease of about 40% in NFT burden in CNS was demonstrated and was accompanied with an increase in microglial burden. Anti-phos-tau antibodies were detected in serum and blood vessels in the CNS, while no encephalitogenicity (free of clinical neurological deficits, of adverse effects on brain inflammatory cells and of axonal damage) was recorded. The level of the lysosomal proteases, cathepsins D and L, was affected in the immunized mice suggesting the possible involvement of the lysosomal system in the decrease of NFTs. The robust anti-NFT effect and the lack of encephalitogenicity in NFT mice immunized with phos-tau peptides, even though CFA with PT was included in vaccine, point to their anti-NFT therapeutic potential.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
