Intracellular amyloid formation in muscle cells of Aβ-transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans: determinants and physiological role in copper detoxification

Table 1 Copper incorporation into Aβ expressing C. elegans and controls

Quantification of Cu²⁺ incorporated in control (CL2122 = no Aβ expression) and Aβ-transgenic (CL2120 = Aβ_1–42) C. elegans. Worms were grown in the presence of CuCl₂ (150 μM) or under control conditions (no copper added) for 96 and 120 h. The Cu²⁺ content (μg/g) was determined by ICP-MS. Data are means ± S.E.
