Abstract
Human cortical neuronal cell lines HCN-1A and HCN-2 are killed for following exposure of the differentiated cells to amyloid beta-peptide(1-40), a component of senile plaques and other amyloid deposits in brains from Alzheimer's patients. We present a model of A beta toxicity uncomplicated by the presence of other cell types that can be used to address the mechanism of A beta neurotoxicity. This model will be useful in the evaluation of neuroprotective compounds which may attenuate cortical neuronal loss in Alzheimer's disease.Entities:
