Figure 4. Gender difference in onset of neuritic plaques in APPswe;PS1ΔE9 mice.

Figure 4

(a) Brain sections of 4-month-old female (n=5) APPswe;PS1ΔE9 mice were detected by antibodies specific to Aβ (6E10). Only a few can be detected in the female APPswe;PS1ΔE9 mice at 4 months of age. (b) Brain sections of 6-month-old female (n=6) and male (n=4) APPswe;PS1ΔE9 mice were detected by antibodies specific to Aβ (6E10). Wide spread neuritic plaques are observed in female APPswe;PS1ΔE9 mice, while only a few can be detected in the male APPswe;PS1ΔE9 mice at 6 months of age. (c) Brain sections of 12-month-old female (n=9) and male (n=7) APPswe;PS1ΔE9 mice were detected by antibodies specific to Aβ (6E10). Wide spread neuritic plaques are observed in both male and female APPswe;PS1ΔE9 mice at this age.
