Neuropathological analysis of intracellular Aβ immunoreactivity in the brains of APP tg mice treated with LV-NEP. (A-C) Images of intracellular Aβ immunoreactivity obtained in the neocortex with the sections immunostained with an antibody against Aβ (4G8) from the brains of APP tg mice (12 m/o) injected with LV-empty (A), LV-NEP (B) and LV-NEPX (C). (D) Image analysis of the levels of intracellular Aβ-immunoreactivity shows a significant decrease in mice treated with LV-NEP. (E-G) Images of intracellular Aβ immunoreactivity obtained in the neocortex with the sections immunostained with an antibody against Aβ (82E1). (H) Image analysis of the levels of intracellular Aβ-immunoreactivity. *p < 0.05 compared to LV-empty or LV-NEPX by one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Dunnett's, n = 8 mice per group. Bar is (A-C) 20 μm, (E-G) 10 μm.
