Abstract excerpt
Most of the transgenic mice generated to model Alzheimer's disease express human amyloid precursor protein (APP) mutants alone or in conjunction with presenilin mutants. We have generated a mouse model by overexpressing human BACE and human APP with the V717F mutation. The combination of a mutation at the gamma-secretase cleavage site of APP and of increased beta-secretase activity should favour the production of...
