Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein (APOE) E4 isoform is a major risk factor of Alzheimer's disease and contributes to metabolic and neuropathological abnormalities during brain aging. To provide insights into whether APOE4 genotype is related to tau-associated neurodegeneration, we have generated human P301S mutant tau transgenic mice (PS19) that carry humanized APOE alleles (APOE2, APOE3 or APOE4). In aging mice that succumbed to...
