Abstract

To gain insights into the different forms of modified amyloid beta peptides (A beta) in the Alzheimer disease (AD) and Down syndrome (DS) brain, we used two-site ELISAs with antibodies specific for isomerized (i.e. A beta with L-isoaspartate at positions 1 and 7) and pyroglutamate-modified (i.e. A beta beginning with pyroglutamate at position 3) forms of A beta to quantitate the levels of these different A beta peptides in formic acid extracts of AD and DS frontal cortex. Despite variations in the proportions of distinct forms of A beta in AD and DS frontal cortex, the major species of A beta in these samples were A betaN3(pyroGlu)-42 as well as A beta x-42 (where x is a residue at position 2 or less in A beta), whereas isomerized A beta was a minor species. Further, the levels of isomerized and pyroglutamate-modified forms of A beta terminating at amino acid 42 were higher than those ending at amino acid 40. The abundance of the distinct forms of A beta reported here in formic acid extracts of AD and DS frontal cortex suggests that these A beta species could play important roles in the deposition of A beta in AD and DS brains.

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.
