摘要: The human beta-amyloid protein is deposited in senile plaques and the cerebro-vasculature of people with Alzheimer's disease Down's syndrome. precise role pathology presently unknown. To study properties vivo, we generated transgenic mice that harbor gene for carboxyl-terminal 100 amino acids amyloid precursor protein, beginning region, under control JC viral early region promoter. mRNA expressed exclusively brain tissue. Further, demonstrate increased levels immunoreactivity on fixed These animals will be useful as a model to deposition its consequences.
