Abstract

We describe a study testing fibrillar β-amyloid_1-42 (Aβ₄₂) vaccination in dogs. Three young beagles (4.6 years) were immunized twice with Aβ₄₂ and a Th1 adjuvant (TiterMax Gold). Animals generated primarily IgG₂ and IgM antibody responses, which were specific for the Aβ_11-30 region of Aβ_1-42. Next, 3 aged beagles (8.9-13.8 years) were immunized 4 times with Aβ₄₂ and a Th2 adjuvant (Alum). We observed an acute increase in IgG_2, a slower increase in IgG₁ and Aβ antibodies of broader specificity (Aβ_1-15> Aβ_11-30> Aβ_6-20). A nonsignificant increase in CSF Aβ_1-40 and decrease in Aβ_1-40/1-42 in cortex was detected. Canines may be a useful system for testing an Aβ vaccine.
