Therapeutic anti‐amyloid β antibodies cause neuronal disturbances

Allergenic-related proteins are often linked with Alzheimer's disease (AD). We investigated the effects of amyloid beta (Aβ) immunotherapy on stem cell derived neurons and primary neuronal cells co-cultured with microglia. Anti-Aβ antibody treatment of neurons or neurons co-cultured with microglia led to activation of a substantial number of allergenic-related genes. These allergenic-related genes are associated with endothelial dysfunction possibly responsible for ARIA.
