In this immunohistopathological study alpha 1-antichymotrypsin, which is barely demonstrable in the normal brain, was found in amyloid fibrils, endothelial cells and the cytoplasm of astroglial cells in brains from patients with Alzheimer's disease. Amyloid precursors stained with methenamine silver were arrayed mainly along the membranes, and amyloid fibrils, which stained densely with anti-alpha 1-antichymotrypsin, were in direct contact with the fibrous structures connecting with the membranes of vascular feet or astrocytic processes. From the above findings, alpha 1-antichymotrypsin seems to play a role in the production of amyloid fibrils in Alzheimer's disease.
