Nucleic acids for diagnosing and modeling Alzheimer's disease |
Claims (1) the nucleic acid of the human APP with asparagine at codon 670 and/or leucine at codon 671, or a fragment of the protein; (2) a further specification about the amino acid at codon 717; (3) a vector that includes the nucleic acid; and (4) an immortalized mammalian cell line that contains the nucleic acid in question. |

Isolated cell comprising HAPP 670/671 DNAS sequences |
Claims (1) an isolated (and immortalized) cell with a nucleic acid encoding a human APP that includes codons 670 and 671, operable linked to a promoter. The nucleic acid encodes an amino acid other than lysine at codon 670 and/or an amino acid other than methionine at codon 671. The cell expresses the human APP or a fragment of it; (2) the same claim that includes codon 717, with an amino acid other than valine; and (3) a method of screening for an agent for treating Alzheimer's disease that involves contacting the claimed cell with an agent and monitoring the expression or processing of APP or fragments thereof. |

Transgenic mouse expressing an APP 670/671 mutation |
Claims (1a) a transgenic mouse whose genome comprises a nucleic acid encoding human APP including codons 670 and 671, operably linked to a promoter, where the amino acid at codon 670 is not lysine and/or the amino acid at 671 is not methionine and the mouse expresses this protein or a fragment of it; (b) a transgenic mouse that has an amino acid other than valine at codon 717; and (c) the mouse forms amyloidogenic aggregates in its brain and/or exhibits Alzheimer's disease pathology; and (2) a method of screening for an agent for treating Alzheimer's disease through contacting the mouse with an agent and monitoring the expression, processing or deposition of APP ,or fragments of it. |
