  1. Build up of Amyloid in Alzheimer’s Disease (arrow)

  2. Removal of brain amyloid in an AD patient following active immunization (top) Persistence of brain amyloid in a non- immunized patient (bottom) Amyloid (red) in non-immunized mouse (top) is removed in mice after immunization (bottom)

  3. Amyloid Fibril Nerve Cell Medications may promote removal of amyloid by interfering with clumping of amyloid fibrils

  4. -amyloid precursor protein Extracellular space TM Cytoplasm A peptide COOH NH2 -secretase -secretase New medications may prevent deposits of amyloid by modulating specific enzymes alpha-secretase Abeta-42 Abeta-40 Abeta-42 Selkoe DJ et al. JAMA. 2000;283:1615-1617.
