The origin of the various components of senile plaques in Alzheimer's disease (AD) continues to be a focus of intense research scrutiny. Lysosomal enzyme activity within the plaques is of particular interest because of its possible relevance to a presumed abnormal processing of precursor molecules that may lead to the formation of plaque amyloid. Histochemical evidence of acid phosphatase (ACP), a lysosomal hydrolase, activity in senile plaques has been documented long before many of the… CONTINUE READING
