Aβ levels are reduced in APP/lon mice knockout for meprin β. A Soluble-extracted brain fractions from 15-month-old APP/lon and APP/lon × Mep1b−/− mice were analyzed by immunoblot for Aβ peptides species. Samples were on the same gel but are rearranged for better presentation. B Densitometric analysis of Aβ1–42 levels show a decrease in soluble fractions (****p < 0.0001, t-test, n = 10). C ELISA analysis showed decreased levels of 1–40 (*p < 0.05, t-test, n = 8) and 1–42 (*p < 0.05, t-test, n = 8) in soluble fractions of APP/lon × Mep1b−/− compared to APP/lon mice. D No differences were detected in insoluble brain fractions (n = 9–10). E A following ELISA approach revealed reduced levels of Aβ x–40 (p < 0.005, t-test, n = 7) and x–42 (p < 0.05, t-test, n = 4) in soluble brain fractions of APP/lon × Mep1b−/− (F) No obvious differences were identified in total Aβ species x–40 and x–42 in insoluble brain fractions (n = 6)
