Abstract

Administration of an anti-tau antibody to transgenic mice expressing human tau and to patients with tauopathy increased the concentration of tau in plasma.

  • In PS19 mice, plasma tau inversely correlated with brain soluble tau, suggesting peripheral tau levels reflect changes occurring in the CNS.

    “In PS19 mice, plasma tau was found to inversely correlate with brain soluble tau levels, suggesting that peripheral tau levels reflect changes occurring in the CNS (Yanamandra et al., 2017).”

  • A fall in the phosphorylation rate of some sites (for example, pT181 and pT217) while aggregated tau rises might reflect sequestration by hyperphosphorylated aggregates.

    “these results might suggest that a reduction in the phosphorylation rate of some sites (for example, pT181 and pT217) when aggregated tau is increasing could represent a process of sequestration by hyperphosphorylated aggregates48.”
  • Anti-tau protein monoclonal antibodies are a promising therapeutic strategy, but further exploration of their mechanism of action and side-effects is still needed.

    “anti-tau protein monoclonal antibodies are a promising therapeutic strategy, but further exploration of their mechanism of action and side-effects is still needed [194].”
  • Monoclonal antibodies against the amino-terminal or repeat domain (306-320) region, oligomeric tau, misfolded tau, pSer202, pThr231, pSer409, pSer413 and pSer422 have proved to be efficacious in tauopathy models.

    “In addition, monoclonal antibodies against the amino-terminal or repeat domain (306–320) region209–215, oligomeric tau216,217, misfolded tau201,218,219, pSer202220,221, pThr231208 pSer409222, pSer413223 and pSer422224 have proved to be efficacious in tauopathy models.”

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.
