Abstract
An immunohistochemical study with a polyclonal anti-beta-protein antiserum was performed in order to understand the mechanism of deposition of amyloid fibrils in senile plaques in Alzheimer-type dementia (ATD). Serial cortical sections cut from ATD brains were necessary to investigate the structural correlation between senile plaques and blood vessels. The senile plaques were stained well and a blood vessel or capillary-like structure was found in most of beta-protein-immunoreactive deposits. These findings may suggest an involvement of blood vessels in the formation of at least some of the amyloid deposits in ATD brains.Entities:
