Competing Interests

CH is an employee of Akeso, and as such stands to gain from the publication of these results. However, he had no role in the analyses or collecting of data and was therefore unable to influence the outcome. There are patents and products in development based on this research (see end). This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials. U.S Patent Application No. 12/325,842, filed 12/1/2008 and published as U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2009-0143433A1, published 6/4/2009 entitled “COCKTAIL FOR MODULATION OF ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE.”
