Description
These transgenic mice express a mutant form of the human amyloid protein precursor bearing both the Swedish (K670N/M671L) and the Indiana (V717F) mutations (APPSwInd). Expression of the transgenic insert is directed by the human platelet-derived growth factor beta polypeptide (PDGFB) promoter. Hemizygotes express immunodetectable transgene product in cerebral neurons, with the highest level of expression occurring in the neocortex and hippocampus. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) analysis reveals approximate total amyloid beta peptides and 42 amino acid length amyloid beta peptides in neocortical and hippocampal tissue from mutant mice. At five to seven months of age diffuse amyloid beta peptides deposition in the dendate gyrus and neocortex forms. Amyloid deposition is progressive with all transgenic mice exhibiting plaques by age eight to 10 months. This mutant mouse strain represents a model that may be useful in studies of the pathogenesis of Familial Alzheimer's Disease and possible therapeutic treatments.

Development
A transgenic construct containing the mutant human amyloid protein precursor APPSwInd under the control of human platelet-derived growth factor beta polypeptide, simian sarcoma viral (v-sis) oncogene homolog, (PDGFB) promoter, was injected into C57BL/6 X DBA/2 F2 one-cell embryos. Heterozygous founder animals were bred to C57BL/6 X DBA/2 F1 mice. The resulting transgenic mice were then backcrossed for 12 generations on the C57BL/6J background.

This strain was previously distributed as Stock No. 004661. That strain was found to have undergone a loss of transgenic copy number and consequent delayed onset of the phenotype, so this strain was re-imported from the lab of Dr. Lennart Mucke. Transgenic copy number is assayed using a Multiplex TaqMan assay.

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.
