Abstract
DNA sequences encoding .beta.-amyloid-related proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease are disclosed. Also provided herein is a DNA sequence encoding a novel protease inhibitor. These sequences are used in producing or constructing recombinant .beta.-amyloid core protein, .beta.-amyloid-related proteins and recombinant or synthetic immunogenic peptides. Antibodies generated against the recombinant proteins or immunogenic peptides derived therefrom can be used for cerebral fluid or serum protein diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.
