Cerebral accumulation of beta-amyloid following ischemic brain injury with long-term survival.
Deposits that are recognized by antibodies specific for the C-terminal and beta-amyloid peptide (beta A) but not the N-terminal sequences of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) fragments are present in the extra- and intracellular space in ischemic rat brain with 1 year survival. The immunohistochemical profile indicates that the APP in these deposits is truncated between the N-terminal and beta A and terminates at the C-terminal. This process probably is reaching into the extracellular space.
