Enhanced Production and Oligomerization of the 42-residue Amyloid β-Protein by Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells Stably Expressing Mutant Presenilins
1 Mar 1997
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the presenilin 1 (PS1) and presenilin 2 (PS2) genes cause the most common and aggressive form of early onset familial Alzheimer's disease. To elucidate their pathogenic mechanism, wild-type (wt) or mutant (M146L, C410Y) PS1 and wt or mutant (M239V) PS2 genes were stably transfected into Chinese hamster ovary cells that overexpress the beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP). The identity of the...
