Figure 4Morphological recovery of amyloid-associated neuritic dystrophy in a
PDAPP;Thy1:YFP double-transgenic mouse after anti-Aβ antibody (10D5) treatment. The 2 panels show the same population of YFP-labeled neurites, which are associated with a neuritic plaque imaged on the initial day of surgery (
A) and 72 hours later (
B). The antibody was administered directly to the surface of the brain during the cranial-window surgical procedure on day 0. The arrows in the day 0 image (
A) point to 2 enlarged dystrophic neurites, which are absent in the day 3 image (
B). The associated amyloid is not shown. Scale bar: 20 μm.
