Abstract excerpt
In mice, apolipoprotein A-II (apoA-II) associates to form amyloid fibrils in an age-associated manner. We determined the complete nucleotide sequences of the apoA-II gene (Apoa2) cDNA in 41 inbred strains of mice including Mus musculus domesticus (laboratory mouse), Mus musculus castaneus, Mus musculus molossinus, Mus musculus musculus and Mus spretus. Among these strains we identified 7 alleles (Apoa2a1,...
