| Abstract: |
We evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of combined treatment of Aβ-immunization with
simvastatin in an Alzheimer mouse model at age 22 months. DNA prime-adenovirus boost
immunization induced modest anti-Aβ titers and simvastatin increased the seropositive rate. Aβ-KLH was additionally administered to boost the titers. Irrespective of simvastatin, the immunization did not decrease cerebral Aβ deposits but increased soluble Aβ and tended to exacerbate amyloid angiopathy in the hippocampus. The immunization increased cerebral
invasion of leukocytes and simvastatin counteracted the increase. Thus, modest anti-Aβ titers can increase soluble Aβ and simvastatin may reduce inflammation associated with vaccination in
aged Alzheimer mouse models. |
