Figure Lengend Snippet: Western blot and quantification analysis of phosphorylated (p) Ser 393/404 (PHF-1), Thr 217, Ser 202 (CP13) and Thr 181 (AT270), and total tau (TG5 and D1M9X) (A,B) , and autophagic/lysosomal markers LAMP2A, p62 and LC3 (C) in hippocampal lysates from controls (CTRL) and patients with FAD, CBD and PiD. Arrowheads indicate ∼64, 68 and 72 kDa tau bands. Protein levels were normalized to β-tubulin, GAPDH or total tau. Data represent mean ± SEM of multiple individuals (n = 6-8) per group. One-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s post hoc test or Kruskal-Wallis followed by Dunn’s post-hoc test was used as statistical test. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001. CTRL: control; FAD: familial Alzheimer’s disease; CBD: corticobasal degeneration; PiD: Pick’s disease
