  1. Following immunohistochemical staining with antibody EP1536Y and no formic acid retrieval, semi-quantitative grading was assigned to each LBD and AD/ALB case for 3 separate regions (SNpc substantia nigra pars compacta, cing. cingulate cortex, amyg. amygdala). The presence of pSer129 positive inclusions was semi-quantitatively graded at 10x magnification on a multi-tiered scale, with “-” representing non-reactivity, “−/+” very rare, “+” mild, “++” moderate, and “+++” representing the strongest level of reactivity
