  • Gene-targeted animal model of apolipoprotein E4 domain interaction and uses thereof
    Publication number: 20060230466
    Abstract: The invention provides gene-targeted non-human animals comprising a genetically modified apoE gene encodes a recombinant apoE polypeptide displaying domain interaction. The invention further provides cells isolated from the gene-targeted animals, which cells produce a recombinant apoE polypeptide displaying domain interaction. The invention further provides methods of identifying agents that reduce apoE4 domain interaction, and which are useful to treat apoE4-related neurological and cardiovascular disorders.
    Type: Application
    Filed: June 7, 2006
