title: Antibodies to fibronectin bind to plaques and other structures in Alzheimer's disease and control brain.
abstract: Antibodies to fibronectin (Fn) bind not only the basal lamina in Alzheimer's disease brain, but also crystal-like formations in the grey matter, senile plaques, a subset of neuronal perikarya, and large highly processed stellate formations which were both neurofilament and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) negative and which were identified at a lower frequency in non-demented control brains.
