Paired Helical Filaments (PHF), as demonstrated at the ultrastructure level, are one of the main pathological landmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). A polyclonal rabbit antiserum raised against PHF had been shown to label tangles and the periphery of plaques at the light microscope level. The same antiserum labels PHF specifically at the ultrastructure level, as demonstrated with a postembedding immunogold technique. Normal cytoskeleton constituents and plaque amyloid were not labelled. Specific labelling of a characteristic landmark may be a clue for a biological marker of AD.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D009454 Neurofibrils The delicate interlacing threads, formed by aggregations of neurofilaments and neurotubules, coursing through the CYTOPLASM of the body of a NEURON and extending from one DENDRITE into another or into the AXON. Neurofibril

D000544 Alzheimer Disease A degenerative disease of the BRAIN characterized by the insidious onset of DEMENTIA. Impairment of MEMORY, judgment, attention span, and problem solving skills are followed by severe APRAXIAS and a global loss of cognitive abilities. The condition primarily occurs after age 60, and is marked pathologically by severe cortical atrophy and the triad of SENILE PLAQUES; NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES; and NEUROPIL THREADS.
