Former Names B6.Cg-Tg(APPswe)E1-2Dbo/J (Changed: 13-FEB-07 ) 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 N15p Donating Investigator David Borchelt, McKnight Brain Inst, Univ of Florida Description
These transgenic mice express a chimeric mouse/human amyloid precursor protein (APPswe) under the control of the mouse prion protein promoter. Mice that are hemizygous for the transgene are viable and fertile. More than half of the female hemizygous mice do not survive past 15 months of age. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of Alzheimer's Disease.Development
A transgenic construct a chimeric mouse/human amyloid precursor protein (APPswe) under the control of the mouse prion protein promoter was injected into fertilized C57BL/6J X C3HeJ F2 mouse eggs. Founder line E1-2 was established. The mice were then backcrossed to C57BL/6J for more than 14 generations.

Tg(Prnp-App/APPswe)E1-2Dbo/0
B6.C3-Tg(Prnp-App/APPswe)E1-2Dbo
- nervous system phenotype
- amyloid beta deposits (MGI Ref ID J:109847)
- 14-15 month old mutants backcrossed 5- or 10 generations tend to have higher accumulation of amyloid compared to Tg(APP695)3Dbo at that age
- behavior/neurological phenotype
- abnormal locomotor activity (MGI Ref ID J:109847)
- in radial maze testing, male mutants backcrossed 5-7 generations show high motor reactivity compared to females or control animals, and entered the closest arm of the maze which prevented them from learning the task
- decreased vertical activity (MGI Ref ID J:109847)
- at 12-13 months, mice backcrossed 5-7 generations show fewer rearing reactions compared to nontransgenic littermates
- hypoactivity (MGI Ref ID J:109847)
- at 12-13 months, males backcrossed 5-7 generations are less active than controls in inner cells of open field
- abnormal object recognition memory (MGI Ref ID J:109847)
- as females age (13-14 months of age), significant difference compared to female controls is observed in trials with longest (<60 minute) delays
- abnormal spatial learning (MGI Ref ID J:109847)
- 12-13 month old males and females backcrossed 5-7 generations show poorer performance in probe trials in the Morris water maze; females spent less time in correct quadrant until fourth consectutive session
- upon repeat testing of the same females one month later, difference between mutants and controls is more robust; repeated testing had no effect on performance
- increased anxiety-related response (MGI Ref ID J:109847)
- at 12-13 months, females backcrossed 5-7 generations are less active in visiting open arms in plus maze; combined with reduced rearing reactions, females may have higher anxiety levels
- other phenotype
- amyloid beta deposits (MGI Ref ID J:109847)
- 14-15 month old mutants backcrossed 5- or 10 generations tend to have higher accumulation of amyloid compared to Tg(APP695)3Dbo at that age

| General Note | Three transgenic lines were generated and designated by the authors lines Q2-2, E1-2 and C3-3 (Tg(APP695)3Dbo). They were estimated, on the basis of Southern blot analysis, to carry 3-10 copies of the transgene. | ||
| Molecular Note | This transgene expresses a modified mouse amyloid precursor protein cDNA encoding the 695-amino acid isoform with a "humanized" Abeta domain amino acid sequence that includes the familial Alzheimer disease- (FAD-) associated Swedish double mutation (Lys595Asn and Met596Leu). The cDNA was inserted into an expression cassette containing the promoter, 5' intronic and 3' untranslated region sequences of the mouse prion protein gene. [MGI Ref ID J:80782] | ||
