Abstract
Rats received intraventricular infusion of leupeptin or saline and brain sections were immunostained with antibodies to tau (anti-HFoPHF) or ubiquitin. Results were compared with immunostaining on normal aged rat brains and Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains. Both antibodies stained Purkinje cell perikarya and dendrites of leupeptin (but not saline)-treated and aged rat brains, as well as senile plaque neurites and neurofibrillary tangles in AD brains. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that paired helical filament (PHF) formation involves defective protein degradation.Entities:
