Clusterin promotes amyloid plaque formation and is critical for neuritic toxicity in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease
26 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
Studies have shown that clusterin (also called apolipoprotein J) can influence the structure and toxicity of amyloid-beta (Abeta) in vitro. To determine whether endogenous clusterin plays a role in influencing Abeta deposition, structure, and toxicity in vivo, we bred PDAPP mice, a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease, to clusterin(-/-) mice. By 12 months of age, PDAPP, clusterin(-/-) mice had similar...
