We found that APP669-711 was secreted from A549 adenocarcinoma cells as well as HEK293A cells expressing wild-type APP (APPwt), but not CCF-STTG1 astrocytoma, H4 neuroglioma, nor naïve HEK293A cells (Fig. 1C), suggesting that APP669-711 is produced from only some cultured cell lines under physiological conditions. The gene discussed is APP; the disease is astrocytoma (excluding glioblastoma).
