Abstract excerpt
Our aim in this study was to investigate experimentally the possible in vivo transmission of a synucleinopathy, using a transgenic mouse model (TgM83) expressing the human A53T mutated α-synuclein. Brain homogenates from old TgM83 mice showing motor clinical signs due to the synucleinopathy and containing insoluble and phosphorylated (pSer129) α-synuclein were intracerebrally inoculated in young TgM83 mice. This...
