摘要: Two approaches--molecular cloning and immunochemical analysis--have identified one of the components Alzheimer's disease amyloid deposits as serine protease inhibitor alpha 1-antichymotrypsin. An antiserum against isolated Alzheimer detected immunoreactivity in normal liver. The was then used to screen a liver cDNA expression library, yielding three related clones. DNA sequence analysis showed that these clones code for Antisera purified 1-antichymotrypsin stained deposits, both situ after detergent extraction from brain. anti-amyloid recognizes at least two distinct epitopes 1-antichymotrypsin, further supporting presence this protein deposits. In addition being produced released into serum, is expressed brain, particularly areas develop lesions. Models by which could contribute development are discussed.
