Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein E (ApoE), which is genetically polymorphic, is a constituent of different lipoproteins. Two variants, ApoE4(C112R) and ApoE4(L28P; C112R) have been linked to the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Transgenic mice carrying ApoE4(C112R) (AD71) and ApoE4(L28P; C112R) (AD61) were generated and compared to wild-type mice. The use of glial fibrillary acidic protein as promoter led to transgene...
