Tg(Prnp-APPSwInd,KRT14-EGFP)3Dbo

The mouse amyloid beta (A4) precursor protein (App) sequence was first modified to contain a humanized amyloid-beta (Abeta) domain. This mouse/human chimeric APP (called mo/huAPP695 or APP695) was further mutated to incorporate the Swedish (KM570/571NL) and Indiana (V617F) mutations associated with Alzheimer's disease. This APP695Swe/Ind sequence was placed downstream of the brain-specific mouse prion promoter (Prnp). The transgene was co-integrated with a transgene in which the human KRT14 (K14) promoter drives skin-specific expression of EGFP. (J:340366)
