Conditional Deletion of <i>Prnp</i> Rescues Behavioral and Synaptic Deficits after Disease Onset in Transgenic Alzheimer's Disease
21 Aug 2017
Abstract excerpt
Biochemical and genetic evidence implicate soluble oligomeric amyloid-β (Aβo) in triggering Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathophysiology. Moreover, constitutive deletion of the Aβo-binding cellular prion protein (PrP C ) prevents development of memory deficits in APP swe /PS1ΔE9 mice, a model of familial AD. Here, we define the role of PrP C to rescue or halt established AD endophenotypes in a therapeutic...
