Description
Double transgenic mice express a chimeric mouse/human amyloid precursor protein (Mo/HuAPP695swe) and a mutant human presenilin 1 (PS1-dE9) both directed to CNS neurons. Both mutations are associated with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. The "humanized" Mo/HuAPP695swe transgene allows the mice to secrete a human A-beta peptide. Both the transgenic peptide and holoprotein can be detected by antibodies specific for human sequence within this region (Signet Laboratories' monoclonal 6E10 antibody). The included Swedish mutations (K595N/M596L) elevate the amount of A-beta produced from the transgene by favoring processing through the beta-secretase pathway. This "humanized" Mo/HuAPP695swe protein is immunodetected in whole brain protein homogenates. The transgenic mutant human presenilin protein (PS1-dE9), which in high levels displaces detectable endogenous mouse protein, is also immunodetected in whole brain protein homogenates. The donating investigator reports that transgenic mice develop beta-amyloid deposits in brain by six to seven months of age. These animals also display a slight alteration in their tail phenotype that is believed to be due to the mixed genetic background of the strain and is not related to transgene expression. These mice may be useful in studies of neurological disorders of the brain, specifically Alzheimer's disease, amyloid plaque formation, and aging.

Development
Two expression plasmids (Mo/HuAPP695swe and PS1-dE9) were designed to each be controlled by independent mouse prion protein (PrP) promoter elements, directing transgene expression predominantly to CNS neurons. The Mo/HuAPP695swe transgene expresses a “humanized” mouse amyloid beta (A4) precursor protein gene modified at three amino acids to reflect the human residues and further modified to contain the K595N/M596L mutations linked to familial Alzheimers. The PS1-dE9 transgene expresses a mutant human presenilin 1 carrying the exon-9-deleted variant (PSEN1dE9) associated with familial Alzheimer's disease. These constructs were coinjected into B6C3HF2 pronuclei and insertion of the transgenes occured at a single locus. Founder line 85 was obtained and the resulting colony was maintained as a hemizygote by crossing transgenic mice to B6C3F1/J mice.

Gene & Allele Information

Allele Symbol		Tg(APPswe,PSEN1dE9)85Dbo
Allele Name		transgene insertion 85, David R Borchelt
Allele Type		Transgenic (random, expressed)
Common Name(s)		APP/PS1; APPswe/PS1dE9; APdE9; Mo/Hu APPswe PS1dE9; Tg(APPswe,PSEN1dE9)85Dbo;
Mutation Made By		David Borchelt,   McKnight Brain Inst, Univ of Florida
Strain of Origin		(C57BL/6 x C3H)F2
Expressed Gene		PSEN1, presenilin 1, human
Expressed Gene		APP, amyloid beta (A4) precursor protein, human
Promoter		Prnp, prion protein, mouse, laboratory
General Note		Mice carrying this double transgene develop beta-amyloid deposits in the brain by 6 to 7 months of age.
Molecular Note		Two transgenes inserted at a single locus. Each transgene is controlled by the mouse prion promoter and contains a cDNA sequence. In one transgene the cDNA encodes a chimeric amyloid beta (A4) precursor protein (APPswe). In the second transgene the cDNA encodes the "DeltaE9" mutation of human presenilin 1. The DeltaE9 mutation of the human presenilin 1 gene is a deletion of exon 9 and corresponds to a form of early-onset Alzheimer's disease. The amyloid beta precursor protein coding sequences were altered by replacing mouse sequence encoding three amino acids of the A-beta domain with the human coding sequence for these residues. The chimeric amyloid beta (A4) precursor protein sequence was then further modified to encode the Swedish mutations K595N/M596L found in human. Both the transgenic peptide and holoprotein are detected by Signet Laboratories' monoclonal 6E10 antibody, which is specific for human sequence within this region. Human presenilin protein, which in high levels displaces detectable endogenous mouse protein, is immunodetected in the double transgenic mouse in whole brain protein homogenates. Human amyloid precursor protein is also immunodetected in these mice in whole brain protein homogenates. [MGI Ref ID J:78664]

Colony Maintenance

Breeding & Husbandry	When maintaining a live colony, hemizygotes may be bred with wildtype siblings. Coat color expected from breeding Black or Agouti. While the donating investigator warns that male aggression may require individual housing, there are no such reports of this problem to date in our colonies at The Jackson Laboratory (Jun 2006).
Mating System	+/+ sibling x Hemizygote         (Female x Male)   31-MAY-08

The Jackson Laboratory's Genotype Promise

The Jackson Laboratory has rigorous genetic quality control and mutant gene genotyping programs to ensure the genetic background of JAX^® Mice strains as well as the genotypes of strains with identified molecular mutations. JAX^® Mice strains are only made available to researchers after meeting our standards. However, the phenotype of each strain may not be fully characterized and/or captured in the strain data sheets. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a strain's phenotype will meet all expectations. To ensure that JAX^® Mice will meet the needs of individual research projects or when requesting a strain that is new to your research, we suggest ordering and performing tests on a small number of mice to determine suitability for your particular project.

"PRODUCTS" means biological materials supplied by JACKSON, and their derivatives. "RECIPIENT" means each recipient of MICE, PRODUCTS, or services provided by JACKSON including each institution, its employees and other researchers under its control. MICE or PRODUCTS shall not be: (i) used for any purpose other than the internal research, (ii) sold or otherwise provided to any third party for any use, or (iii) provided to any agent or other third party to provide breeding or other services. Acceptance of MICE or PRODUCTS from JACKSON shall be deemed as agreement by RECIPIENT to these conditions, and departure from these conditions requires JACKSON's prior written authorization.
