| Research Abstract |
We generated two lines of the novel mouse model for Alzheimer's disease (AD), amyloid precursor protein (APP) knock-in (KI) mouse and presenilin1(PS1)-KI mouse. Each KI mice has the familial AD mutations. The mice showed relevance phenotypes rather than previous AD model mouse. These mice would be a useful tool for the prevention, the treatment and the drug discovery of AD.
