Abstract excerpt
Many transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) that deposit amyloid (Abeta) have been produced, but development of an Abeta-depositing rat model has not been successful. Here, we describe a rat model with extracellular fibrillar Abeta deposition. Two lines of Sprague Dawley rats with transgenes expressing human amyloid precursor protein (APP) with the familial AD (FAD) mutations K670N/M671L and...
