Abstract
The amyloid precursor protein is contained in plantelet alpha granules and released with degranulation. Methods are described to control for amyloid precursor protein release from platelets during blood collection and processing. In normal subjects (n = 97; age range, 44–84 years), the average plasma level of amyloid precursor protein was 6.5 ± 1.8 ng/ml.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
