Lipidation of the BACE1 inhibitor peptide impacts transport of the BS construct over the BBB (a and b) Localization of injected BS-BACE1, BS-BACE1palm, and BS-BACE1chol 24 and 48 h after single i.v. dose (each 10 mg/kg) relative to endothelial CD31 signal (grey). (a) BS-BACE1 and BACE-1palm were localized in mouse brain blood vessels 24 and 48 h post systemic application. Vascular localization of BS-BACE1chol was observed at 24 h but not after 48 h. (b) High-resolution images of the 48 h time point highlight differences in vascular (CD31) localization of BS-BACE1chol compared to BS-BACE1. (c) TfR expression in mouse brain 5–48 h after single intravenous dose (10 mg/kg) of BS-BACE1, BS-BACE1palm and BS-BACE1chol. TfR protein levels was stable (about 100 kDa) compared the control housekeeping gene β-actin (about 38 kDa).
