Description
The coding sequence of the transgene is derived from the cDNA of the familial Alzheimer disease- (FAD-) associated deltaE9 variant of human presenilin 1, which has a splice acceptor mutation upstream of exon 9 that results in a protein lacking amino acids 290-319. The mutant cDNA replaces the coding region of the mouse prion protein (Prp) gene in a construct that contains ~6 kb of genomic DNA upstream of the primary PRP translation start site and includes the noncoding first exon and first intron and, following the inserted PSEN1 sequence, ~3 kb of 3' untranslated sequence; this construct has been shown to drive expression in both neurons and glial cells of the central nervous system (CNS).
