Accumulation of amyloid β (Aβ40 and Aβ42) in the brain is a characteristic of Alzheimer disease (AD). Because neprilysin (NEP) is a major Aβ‐degrading enzyme,NEPdelivery in the brain is a promising gene therapy for AD. Borna disease virus (BoDV) vector enables long‐term transduction of foreign genes in the central nerve system. Here, the proteolytic ability of NEP transduced by the BoDV vector was evaluated and it was found that the amounts of Aβ40 and Aβ42 decreased significantly, suggesting that NEP expressed from the BoDV vector is functional in that it degrades Aβ.
