Abstract excerpt
The cleavage of APP by BACE initiates the amyloidogenic process in Alzheimer's disease (AD). We have generated transgenic mice expressing BACE and double transgenic mice expressing BACE and the Swedish mutations of APP (SwAPP) in neurons. BACE transgenic mice did not develop beta-amyloid plaques by age of 14 months, but showed intracellular beta-amyloid immunoreactivity that was co-localized with transgenic BACE...
