Neurotoxic Effect

Insoluble Aggregates of VAP-B(P56S) Protein Induce Neurotoxic Effects

April 11, 2019Sima Lev Web Team Leave a Comment
Slide #13From prof. Sima Lev's presentation - VAP-B and its role in Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

To demonstrate the correlation between aggregate formation and cell viability, we compared the effect of VAP-B(WT), the P56S mutant, and the P56S/DCC/II mutant on Neuro2a (N2a) cell viability using the MTT assay. We found that the VAP-B(P56S) mutant reduced N2a… Continue Reading →
