Amyloid-beta (Abeta) is one of the main factors to cause Alzheimer's disease. Although fibrillar Abeta (fAbeta) activates microglial cells that release toxic compounds to induce partial neuronal death, the mechanism of interaction between Abeta and microglia remains unclear. Therefore, we examined the interaction of microglial cells (BV2) and fAbeta on a gelatin-precoated plate.
