摘要：

In cases of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) the treatment of tissue sections with formic acid (FA) disclosed a neurofilament epitope in subcortical straight (SF) and paired helical (PHF) filaments. The same treatment produced a two-fold increase of tau-reactive neuropil threads and plaque-related neurites in AD cortical tissue. These findings indicate that epitopes of cytoskeletal proteins are hidden by the beta-pleated conformation of SF and PHF components. FA treatment should be used in immunohistochemical detection of intraneuronal abnormal cytoskeletal filaments. © 1990.
