Donating Investigator Lennart Mucke,   Gladstone Inst of Neurological Disease

Important Note
In March 2010, the donating investigator performed quantitative PCR on genomic DNA and determination of amyloid-beta levels in brain extract from the JAX Stock No. 006293 distribution colony (B6.Cg-Tg(PDGFB-APPSwInd)20Lms/2J also called "J20" line). Results of these analyses demonstrate that the current distribution colony maintains similar transgene copy number and expression as previously published (Mucke et. al. J Neurosci. 2000 Jun 1; 20(11): 4050-8).

Allele Type Transgenic (random, expressed)
Common Name(s) APP Tg; APP/J20; J20; PDGF-APPSwInd; PDGF-hAPP695,751,770V171F, KM670/671NL; hAPPJ20;
Mutation Made By Lennart Mucke,   Gladstone Inst of Neurological Disease
Strain of Origin(C57BL/6 x DBA/2)F2
Expressed Gene APP, amyloid beta (A4) precursor protein, human
Promoter PDGFB, platelet-derived growth factor beta polypeptide, human
General Note This line is also called line J20.

Diffuse amyloid beta peptides deposition forms in the dendate gyrus and neocortex at 5 to 7 months of age. Amyloid deposition is progressive, with all transgenic mice exhibiting plaques by age 8 to 10 months.

Molecular Note The transgene expresses the mutant human amyloid protein precursor APPSwInd, which bears both the Swedish (K670N/M671L) and the Indiana (V717F) mutations, under the control of the human platelet derived growth factor, B polypeptide (PDGFB) promoter. Hemizygous transgenic mice express immunodetectable transgene product in cerebral neurons, with the highest level of expression occurring in the neocortex and hippocampus. ELISA analysis reveals approximate total amyloid beta peptides and 42 amino acid lengthamyloid beta peptides in neocortical and hippocampal tissue from transgenic mice. [MGI Ref ID J:62290]

Important Note

In March 2010, the donating investigator performed quantitative PCR on genomic DNA and determination of amyloid-beta levels in brain extract from the JAX Stock No. 006293 distribution colony (B6.Cg-Tg(PDGFB-APPSwInd)20Lms/2J also called "J20" line). Results of these analyses demonstrate that the current distribution colony maintains similar transgene copy number and expression as previously published (Mucke et. al. J Neurosci. 2000 Jun 1; 20(11): 4050-8).

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.
