Abstract excerpt
We examined a neuronal cell system in which single-cell expression of either familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) gene V642I-APP or K595N/M596L-APP (NL-APP) in an inducible plasmid was controlled without affecting transfection efficiency. This system revealed that (i) low expression of both mutants exerted toxicity sensitive to both Ac-DEVD-CHO (DEVD) and glutathione ethyl ester (GEE), whereas wild-type APP (wtAPP)...
