Abstract excerpt
Abnormal processing of beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP) and precipitation of amyloidogenic beta A4 peptide have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In an attempt to generate an in vivo model of APP-associated pathology, we have introduced recombinant retroviral vectors harboring normal and mutant cDNAs for human neuron-specific APP 695 into fetal rat brain transplants. A minor...
