Mechanism of action is influenced by dosing method. PHF (10 μg/ml) was added to JNPL3 neurons, with 4E6 added either at the same time or 24 h later. In additional cultures, 1 μg/ml dansyl cadaverine (DC), an inhibitor of clathrin mediated endocytosis, was also added along with 4E6 to determine whether antibody internalization is necessary for 4E6 to exert its effects. a In the PHF + Ab treatment group, addition of DC did not affect the NeuN corrected tau levels, indicating that the antibody is working extracellularly. b When DC was present in the PHF → Ab condition, total tau/NeuN ratios was shifted beginning at 24 h, and the relative tau levels were significantly higher after 7 days. Hence, under these conditions, the antibody is working intracellularly
