Abstract excerpt
The harlequin (hq)/Big Blue(®) mouse is a model of premature aging with neurodegeneration and a transgenic mutation target (λcII gene) for in vivo mutation analysis in individual tissues. The hq mutation results in downregulation of the apoptosis-inducing factor (Aif) gene with conflicting reports of elevated oxidative stress in neurons. Previously, the cerebellum of hq disease mice was reported to have a...
