IN VIVO SCREENING MODELS FOR TREATMENT OF QC-RELATED DISORDERS

摘要

The present invention provides a double transgenic non-human animal, in particular a transgenic mouse encoding Qpct proteins, which have been implicated in Qpct-related diseases, and Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP). The present invention additionally provides cells and cell lines comprising transgenes encoding for Qpct and APP. The present invention further provides methods and compositions for evaluating agents that affect Qpct, for use in compositions for the treatment of Qpct-related diseases.
