We investigated the cellular localisation of neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer's disease. All tau-positive tangles were stained for thioflavine S, while ∼84% of thioflavine S-stained tangles were tau-immunolabelled. Approximately 58-62% and 73-76% of thioflavine S- and tau-labelled tangles, respectively, were present within cortical neurons labelled for microtubule-associated protein-2. Thus, most neocortical tangles in Alzheimer's disease are intracellular and may not be the principal cause of neocortical cell loss. © 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
