Summary of Clinico-Neuropathology Analysis in UCSD AN-1792-Immunized Cases
| Case ID | Blessed [63] | MMSE | Total plaque | Neuritic plaques | Tangles | CAA | Neuropathology diagnosis |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 19 | 26 | 8 | 23 | 7 | 0 | 3 | Lewy body Variant of AD |
| 20 | 17 | 18 | 50 | 0 | 0 | 2 | AD |
| 22 | 28 | 10 | 4 | 3 | 0 | 0 | HS, severe frontal lobe atrophy |
MMSE, mini-mental state examination; CAA, cerebral amyloid angiopathy; AD, Alzheimer's diease; HS, hippocampal sclerosis. The counts are representative from the frontal cortex. For each case, 3 sections were analyzed. Total plaques include diffuse and mature with a maximum score of 50 (100 × magnification). Neuritic plaques are defined as those containing a corona of dystrophic neurites with a maximum score of 50 (100 × magnification). Tangles were assessed at 400 × magnification with a maximum score of 50. CAA was assessed as 0, none; 1, mild; 2, moderate; 3, severe using thioflavine-S staining.
