Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We used lentiviral vectors (LVs) to generate a new SCA7 animal model overexpressing a truncated mutant ataxin-7 (MUT ATXN7) fragment in the mouse cerebellum, in order to characterize the specific neuropathological and behavioral consequences of the genetic defect in this brain structure. RESULTS: LV-mediated overexpression of MUT ATXN7 into the cerebellum of C57/BL6 adult mice induced...
