  1. Primary cortical neurones were incubated with PrP, Aβ or PLAP peptides as shown for 1 hour. Synaptosomes were subsequently isolated from treated neurones and the amount of cPLA2 protein, and the amount of activated cPLA2 (phosphorylated at serine 505) were measured by ELISA. Values shown are the mean average amount of cPLA2 protein or activated cPLA2 (units/mg protein) ± SD, n = 12. * = amount of activated cPLA2 significantly greater than in control synaptosomes.
