摘要:
The present invention features non-human transgenic animal models for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and CAA, wherein the transgenic animal is characterized by 1) overexpression of bioactive transforming growth factor-&bgr;1 (TGF-&bgr;1) or 2) both overexpression of bioactive TGF-&bgr;1 and expression of a human amyloid &bgr; precursor protein (APP) gene product. The transgenic animals may be either homozygous or heterozygous for these alterations. Bigenic animals are further characterized by development of AD-associated and/or CAA-associated pathology within about two to three months of age.
