[Expression of beta-amyloid and tau-protein in mastocytes in Alzheimer disease].

With immunochemical assay, the expression of B-amyloid and tau-protein in the mast cells of the stomach and skin was first detected in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), which supports the hypothesis that AD is a systemic disease involving different organs and tissues. Verification of expression of two key peptides that participate in the pathogenesis of AD in the samples of extra-brain tissues allows B-amyloid and tau-protein to be regarded as promising markers and mast cells to be considered to the most suitable object for lifetime diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases.
