During experiments in animal models, researchers have discovered a possible new approach to immunization against Alzheimer’s disease. Their method uses a recombinant methionine (Met)-rich protein derived from corn that was then oxidized in vitro to produce the antigen: methionine sulfoxide (MetO)-rich protein.
