The different responses to these antigens suggest some antibody selectivity in AD. The significant decline was observed for only serum anti-tau antibodies in AD patients over time and it corresponds to lower anti-tau levels in these patients. Our findings indicate a special feature of disease-relevant antigens and humoral autoimmunity in AD.
