摘要:
The present invention provides non-human, transgenic animals for use as a model for the study of Alzheimer's Disease. The animals exhibit pathology associated with Alzheimer's Disease. The phenotype is conferred in the animals by the introduction of an amyloid-containing polypeptide fragment of amyloid precursor protein, through the introduction of the DNA into the germ and somatic cells of the animal by transgenic methods.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the cloning of .beta.APP-C100 receptor (C100-R), and genetically engineered host cells which express the C100-R. Such engineered cells may be used to evaluate and screen drugs and analogs of .beta.-APP involved in Alzheimer's Disease.

摘要:
Disclosed is a transgenic non-human mammal that expresses in its brain a transgene encoding an APP-C100 polypeptide with the flag amino acid sequence fused to the amino terminus of the APP-C100. This transgenic non-human mammal is an improved in vivo model for Alzheimer's disease-like neuropathology and associated cognitive impairment. The improvement includes accelerated development of AD-like neuropathology and cognitive impairment. The AD-like neurodegeneration and associated cognitive impairment in mice produced according to this invention appear at least six months sooner than they appear in APP-C100-expressing transgenic mice.
