Figure 7. rCV02 decreased calpain activation in the brains of 3 × Tg-AD mice.

Figure 7

3 × Tg-AD mice were immunized with rCV02 at 3 months (prophylactic; panel A) or 12 months (therapeutic; panels B) of age. The brains were collected for evaluation at 19-months and 21-months of age, respectively. The spectrin content in the soluble fractions of the brain homogenates were detected by Western blot analysis; representative images are shown (lanes 1–3, non-vaccinated control 3 × Tg-AD; lanes 4–6, rCV01-vaccinated 3 × Tg-AD; lanes 6–9, non-vaccinated control C57/BL6). The graphs show the spectrin 150/240 kDa ratio in control and treated mice. Data represent the mean ± SE for each group. Statistically significant differences were determined by ANOVA. **p < 0.01, compared with the control group (3 × Tg-AD).
