Therapeutic B-cell depletion reverses progression of Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by progressive dementia and amyloid beta plaque deposition. Here the authors show in three relevant transgenic animal models that accumulation of activated B cells is central to AD pathology and depletion of B cells interferes with both histological and behaviour...
