Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A modified non-human warm-blooded vertebrate animal in which a biologically active human APP polypeptide is expressed, and in which function of its inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase (iNOS) protein is reduced as compared to a non-modified animal, methods of making the animal, and methods of testing a candidate composition for activity in the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease using the animal.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A modified mouse comprising both: (i) a transgene encoding a biologically active human Amyloid Peptide Precursor (APP) polypeptide comprising a Swedish familial K670N/M671L double mutation (APPsw), wherein the transgene encoding the biologically active human APP polypeptide comprising a Swedish familial K670N/M671L double mutation (APPsw) is integrated into the genome of the modified mouse under control of a promoter sequence; and (ii) a knockout or knockd…
