Marked differences in neurochemistry and aggregates despite similar behavioural and neuropathological features of Huntington disease in the full-length BACHD and YAC128 mice

Abstract excerpt

The development of animal models of Huntington disease (HD) has enabled studies that help define the molecular aberrations underlying the disease. The BACHD and YAC128 transgenic mouse models of HD harbor a full-length mutant huntingtin (mHTT) and recapitulate many of the behavioural and neuropathological features of the human condition. Here, we demonstrate that while BACHD and YAC128 animals exhibit similar...
