Increased Density of Metallothionein I/II-Immunopositive Cortical Glial Cells in the Early Stages of Alzheimer's Disease

We have examined the possible role of metallothionein I/II (MT I/II) in Alzheimer's disease (AD), with a focus on the cellular localization of MT I/II relative to the astrocyte marker, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). In AD and preclinical AD cases, MT I/II immunolabeling was present in...
