  1. Vectored Intracerebral Immunization with the Anti-Tau Monoclonal Antibody PHF1 Markedly Reduces Tau Pathology in Mutant Tau Transgenic Mice

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience 2016-12-01 Drug development

    Passive immunization with anti-tau monoclonal antibodies has been shown by several laboratories to reduce age-dependent tau pathology and neurodegeneration in mutant tau transgenic mice.

  2. Tau immunization: a cautionary tale?

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2014-12-30 Drug development

    The amyloid β (Aβ)-protein and microtubule-associated protein, tau, are the major components of the amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles that typify Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology.

  3. Anti-amyloid beta to tau - based immunization: Developments in immunotherapy for Alzheimer disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. ImmunoTargets and therapy 2013-08-01 Drug development

    Immunotherapy might provide an effective treatment for Alzheimer disease (AD).

  4. Repeated immunization of mice with phosphorylated-tau peptides causes neuroinflammation

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Experimental neurology 2013-07-20 Drug development

    The recent studies of others and of us showing robust efficacy of anti-tangle immunotherapy, directed against phosphorylated (phos)-tau protein, may pave the way to clinical trials of phos-tau immunotherapy in Alzheimer's-disease and other tauopathies.

  5. Immunotherapy for Alzheimer's disease: from anti-β-amyloid to tau-based immunization strategies

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Immunotherapy 2012-02-01 Treatments

    The exact mechanisms leading to Alzheimer's disease (AD) are largely unknown, limiting the identification of effective disease-modifying therapies.
