nervous system
• amyloid burden worsens in untreated animals between 6 and 9 months of age
• with 3 months of doxycyclin treatment beginning at 6 months of age, suppression of transgene synthesis and complete arrest of increase in amyloid pathology is observed compared to untreated mice; however, in these mice no sign of reduction in amyloid burden is observed
|
• mice produce transgenic APP protein at 10- to 30-fold over endogenous App levels
• sensitivity of transgene suppression by doxycycline is intermediate between mice of line 885 and line 102
