Abstract excerpt
One of the familial forms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) encodes the amyloid-beta precursor protein (AbetaPP) substitution mutation V717F. This mutation is relevant to AD research, since it has been utilized to generate transgenic mice models to study AD pathology and therapeutic interventions. Amyloid beta (Abeta) peptides were obtained from the cerebral tissue of three familial AD subjects carrying the AbetaPP...
