Additive Effects of PS1 and APP Mutations on Secretion of the 42-Residue Amyloid β-Protein

Humans harboring missense mutations in the presenilin 1 (PS1) gene undergo progressive cerebral deposition of the 42-residue amyloid β-protein (Aβ42) at an early age and develop severe Alzheimer's disease. Aβ42is selectively elevated in the conditioned media of cells expressing mutant but not w...
