Genetic Alterations
Tg(APPswe,PSEN1dE9)85Dbo - The two expression plasmids (Mo/HuAPP695swe and PS1-de9) were designed to each be controlled by independent mouse prion protein (PrP) promoter elements, directing transgene expression predominantly to CNS neurons. The Mo/HuAPP695swe transgene expresses a "humanized" mouse amyloid beta (A4) precursor protein gene modified at three amino acids to reflect the human residues and further modified to contain the K595N/M596L (otherwise known as K670N/M671L) mutations linked to familial Alzheimers. The PS1-dE9) transgene expresses a mutant human presenilin 1 carrying the exon-9-deleted variant (PSEN1dE9) associated with familial Alzheimer's disease. These constructs were coinjected into B6C3HF2 pronuclei and insertion of the transgenes occurred at a single locus.

Apptm1Dbo - A targeting vector containing neomycin resistance and herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase genes was used to disrupt a region of the App gene encoding the promoter and exon 1. The construct was electroporated into 129S7/SvEvBrd-derived AB2.1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into C57BL/6J blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were backcrossed to C57BL/6J mice.

Strain Description

Phenotype

Homozygous: The B6.129S7-App(tm1Dbo)/J Jackson Labs stock number 004133 does not express any mouse APP gene.

Hemizygous: The B6.Cg-Tg(APPswe,PSEN1dE9)85Dbo/J carry one human mutated APP and PS1 gene. Homozygous is lethal.

Strain GQC Summary
Gene Specific Genotyping:

To request gene-specific and other genotyping services for a strain, please contact the distribution MMRRC Center for more information.

Background Genetic Quality:

The MMRRC has developed a Genetic Quality Control pipeline using the MiniMUGA array to provide additional information to identify and validate genetic backgrounds of MMRRC strains. For more information on whether genetic background data is available, please contact MMRRC_GeneticQC@med.unc.edu. Note: that MiniMUGA genetic background data is not available on all strains, but can be ordered if desired.

Strain Development
Heterozygous B6.Cg-Tg(APPswe,PSEN1dE9)85Dbo/J (JAX Strain #005864) were bred with Homozygous B6.129S7-App tm1Dbo/J (JAX Strain #004133). All offspring were genotyped to confirm phenotype.
