Dec-DETA affects nervous tissue destruction in transgenic flies. Histology of brain and eye from Aβ1–42 transgenic flies at day 0 or day 10 after eclosion. The flies were either nontreated controls or treated with 4.9 mM Dec-DETA. Ten-micrometer sections of flyheads were immunostained using the anti-Aβ monoclonal antibody 4G8, and the integrity of the nerve tissue in the eye and brain was assessed in a blinded setup. The images are representative of a set with n = 6–11 flies (see Table 1).
