Abstract
Neurofibrillary tangles and neuritic plaques are the neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. The latter consist of a core of A4 amyloid protein. We now report that some neurofibrillary tangles ('tombstone tangles') are also A4 immunoreactive. This observation is consistent with the hypothesis that A4 amyloid accumulation is a component of both neurofibrillary tangles and neuritic plaques.Entities:
