Mice expressing the Swedish APP mutation on a 129 genetic background demonstrate consistent behavioral deficits and pathological markers of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract excerpt

Mutant Tg2576 mice which possess the human "Swedish" APP mutation have been shown to demonstrate both Abeta plaque pathology and memory deficits in behavioral tasks. These mice are routinely maintained on a mixed C57BL/6xSJL genetic background which exhibits a high frequency of retinal degeneration allele and high variability in many behavioral assays. The same APP mutation is also available maintained on a 129...
