Strain Information
Type Congenic; Mutant Strain; Transgenic; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Additional information on Congenic nomenclature. Species laboratory mouse Generation >N11+N1p
Generation DefinitionsDonating Investigator Bruce Lamb, The Cleveland Clinic Foundation Description
These transgenic mice express all mRNA and protein isoforms of the wild-type human amyloid beta (A4) precursor protein, APP. The transgene expression level is equivalent to the level of endogenous mouse amyloid beta (A4) precursor protein (in the homozygous state). The expression pattern of the various protein isoforms of human APP mimics endogenous mouse gene expression patterns. These mice serve as a model for dosage imbalance for APP that occurs in Down syndrome and also provide a unique model to examine the regulation of APP isoforms, APP processing and amyloid beta metabolism and regulation.Development
A 650 kb YAC transgene containing entire human APP gene (and approximately 350 kb flanking sequence) was transfected into 129S2/SvPas-derived D3 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Founder animals were backcrossed to C57BL/6J for 11 generations.

| Molecular Note | A 650 kb YAC containing the entire human APP gene and 350 kb of flanking sequence was randomly integerated into ES cells. Southern blot analysis confirmed that construct rearrangement did not occur and that the animals carried a single copy of the intacttransgene. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of transgenic and wild-type mice revealed that the levels of transgenic human alternate transcripts corresponded with those of the endogenous alternative transcripts. The human APP promoter drives expression in the brain, heart, kidney and testes. [MGI Ref ID J:80947] | ||

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.Ordering Information
