Abstract excerpt
Human beta-amyloid precursor protein (beta APP) has been targeted to transgenic neurons using synapsin I promoter-based chimeric transgenes. Native human beta APP was introduced as well as beta APP containing mutations genetically linked to familial Alzheimer's disease (AD) and to hereditary cerebral hemorrhage with amyloidosis-Dutch type. In mouse brain, human beta APP RNA was up to 60% as abundant as total...
