Hippocampal degeneration differentiates diffuse Lewy body disease (DLBD) from Alzheimer's disease
Immunocytochemistry with antibodies to ubiquitin is currently the most sensitive method for detecting cortical Lewy bodies, which are a sine qua non for the diagnosis of diffuse Lewy body disease… Expand

Widespread alterations of alpha-synuclein in multiple system atrophy.
Glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCI) are the hallmark of multiple system atrophy (MSA), a rare movement disorder frequently associated with autonomic dysfunction. In this study of 21 cases of MSA, GCI… Expand

Ultrastructure and biochemical composition of paired helical filaments in corticobasal degeneration.
Corticobasal degeneration (CBD) is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with extensive cytoskeletal abnormalities. These include tau-positive neuropil threads and grains, ballooned or swollen… Expand

Degradation of Tau by Lysosomal Enzyme Cathepsin D: Implication for Alzheimer Neurofibrillary Degeneration
Abstract: The degradation of different isoforms of human recombinant tau (R‐tau; T39, T40, and T44) and fetal tau (F‐tau) by cathepsin D (CD) was investigated. Gel electrophoresis and Coomassie Blue… Expand

Pick's disease is associated with mutations in the tau gene
Recently, mutations within the tau gene have been associated with some familial forms of frontotemporal dementia. To investigate whether tau gene mutations are also associated with Pick's disease, we… Expand

Alzheimer's disease. A double-labeling immunohistochemical study of senile plaques.
The senile plaque is one of the histopathologic changes that characterizes Alzheimer's disease and the aging brain. The histopathology of senile plaques was studied using double-labeling… Expand

Phosphate analysis and dephosphorylation of modified tau associated with paired helical filaments
We performed phosphate analysis of tau proteins isolated from normal human brain, tau proteins associated with paired helical filaments (PHF-tau), and Alzheimer tau not associated with PHF. These tau… Expand

Application of synthetic phospho‐ and unphospho‐ peptides to identify phosphorylation sites in a subregion of the tau molecule, which is modified in Alzheimer's disease
Phospho‐ and unphospho‐ peptides were used to define the essential sequence for a tau epitope, which is recognized by Tau‐1 antibody and phosphorylated in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The epitope was… Expand

Relationship of the extended tau haplotype to tau biochemistry and neuropathology in progressive supranuclear palsy
Two extended haplotypes of the tau gene (H1 and H2) have been described. The frequency of H1 haplotype is increased in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). PSP is associated with filamentous tau… Expand
