  1. Evaluation of BCG Vaccination and Plasma Amyloid: A Prospective, Pilot Study with Implications for Alzheimer's Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Microorganisms 2022-02-12 Biomarkers

    BCG vaccine has been used for 100 years to prevent tuberculosis.

  2. Long-Term Extensions of Randomized Vaccination Trials of ACC-001 and QS-21 in Mild to Moderate Alzheimer's Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 77 out of 100. Current Alzheimer research 2017-01-01 Treatments

    Long-term exposure to ACC-001 + QS-21 was well tolerated in subjects with Alzheimer's disease, suggesting that side effects do not pose a principal limitation for anti-amyloid active immunotherapy.

  3. Amyloid reduction by amyloid-beta vaccination also reduces mouse tau pathology and protects from neuron loss in two mouse models of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience 2009-06-01 Treatments

    Shown to lower amyloid deposits and improve cognition in APP transgenic mouse models, immunotherapy appears to be a promising approach for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
