Evidence ad3bf6076f

Phosphorylation at the epitope Ser202/Thr205 is regarded as a good marker for late-stage NFTs (5, 72). Hyman and colleagues (5) demonstrated that AT8 immunoreactivity is present primarily in eNFTs and in certain cases in iNFTs. These investigators also found that AT8 revealed dense neuropil thread staining.

This sequence (Fig. 3G–N) is supported by Western blot analysis, phosphorylated Thr231 in three AD cases and their age-matched controls, suggesting that tau phosphorylation at Thr231 occurs before the formation of oligomers (Fig. 3O).
