Abstract
Neurofilamentous tangles have been induced by aluminium chloride in rat brain neurons cultivated on astroglial feeder layers. Monoclonal antibodies to neurofilaments were found to stain these aluminium-induced tangles. Immunostaining of these structures with anti-paired helical filament serum was always negative, though good staining of neuronal perikarya was achieved. This observation supports the hypothesis that aluminium-induced tangles are made up of neurofilament proteins. These tangles appear to be distinct immunochemically from Alzheimer-paired helical filaments.Entities:
