Abstract excerpt
Doubly transgenic mice (PSAPP) overexpressing mutant APP and PS1 transgenes were examined using antibodies to Abeta subtypes and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Visible Abeta deposition began primarily in the cingulate cortex of PSAPP mice at approximately 10 weeks of age. By 6 months, the mice had extensive amyloid deposition throughout the hippocampus and cortex as well as other regions of the brain....
