Amyloid beta protein 1-40 (A beta40) and A beta42 levels were quantitated in plasma from 43 persons with Down syndrome (DS; 26-68 years of age), 43 age-matched normal controls, and 19 non-DS mentally retarded (MR) persons (26-91 years of age) by using a sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. A beta40 levels were higher in DS and MR than controls, but were similar between DS and MR groups. A beta42 levels were higher in DS than controls or MR persons. The ratios of A beta42/A beta40 were higher in DS than controls or MR persons. The findings are consistent with those seen in DS brains.
采用夹心酶联免疫吸附测定法,对43名唐氏综合征患者(DS;26 - 68岁)、43名年龄匹配的正常对照者以及19名非DS智力发育迟缓(MR)者(26 - 91岁)血浆中的β淀粉样蛋白1 - 40(Aβ40)和Aβ42水平进行了定量分析。DS组和MR组的Aβ40水平高于对照组,但DS组和MR组之间相似。DS组的Aβ42水平高于对照组或MR者。DS组的Aβ42/Aβ40比值高于对照组或MR者。这些发现与在唐氏综合征患者大脑中观察到的结果一致。
