  1. Active immunization with tau epitope in a mouse model of tauopathy induced strong antibody response together with improvement in short memory and pSer396-tau pathology

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Neurobiology of disease 2019-10-17 Drug development

    Abnormal tau hyperphosphorylation and its aggregation into neurofibrillary tangles are a hallmark of tauopathies, neurodegenerative disorders that include Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  2. Neurofibrillary tangles in progressive supranuclear palsy contain the same tau epitopes identified in Alzheimer's disease PHFtau

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of neuropathology and experimental neurology 1996-05-01 Drug development

    Neurofibrillary tangle (NFT)-rich brain samples from patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) or Alzheimer's disease (AD) were probed with a large panel of anti-tau antibodies to compare the species of tau present in PSP and AD NFTs by immunohistochemistry and Western blot methods.

  3. Constitutive Alzheimer's-type tau epitopes in a neuritogenic rat CNS cell line

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 1995-07-01 Drug development

    Paired helical filaments (PHFs) of Alzheimer's disease (AD) largely comprise hyperphosphorylated forms of the cytoskeletal protein tau.

  4. Phosphorylated tau epitope of Alzheimer's disease is coupled to axon development in the avian central nervous system

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Experimental neurology 1993-03-01 Drug development

    The monoclonal antibody PHF-1 recognizes phosphorylated tau isoforms present in paired helical filaments of Alzheimer's disease.

  5. Phosphorylated tau immunoreactivity of granulovacuolar bodies (GVB) of Alzheimer's disease: localization of two amino terminal tau epitopes in GVB

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica 1993-01-01 Drug development

    An immunocytochemical study of Alzheimer's disease hippocampus with a panel of anti-tau antibodies revealed two antibodies that stained granulovacuolar bodies (GVB) in pyramidal neurons of Ammon's horn.
