Representative MALDI mass spectra for water-extracted CAA fibrils from leptomeningeal tissues of the indicated AD subjects. Prior to MALDI, CAA fibrils were immunoprecipitated with Dynabeads M-280 sheep anti-mouse beads coupled to 6E10 or 4G8 antibodies. (a) Mass spectra for the indicated study subjects, showing Aβ-assigned peaks that were analyzed using an in-house script that matched the masses of the observed peaks to those of known Aβ peptides. (b) The relative abundance of Aβ peptides identified in each sample.
