abstract：:Amyloid deposition appears to be an early and crucial event in Alzheimer's disease (AD). To generate animal models of AD, mice expressing full-length amyloid precursor protein (APP), with mutations linked to FAD, have been created. These animals exhibit abnormalities characteristic of AD, including deposits of beta-am...
