Beta Amyloid toxicity in a Caenorhabditis elegans model of Alzheimer's disease
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Transgenic animals were engineered to express human amyloid peptide controlled by a muscle-specific, heat-inducible promoter. At low temperatures (16°C) Abeta expression is minimal, while at higher temperatures (20-25°C) Abeta accummulates in large quantities and causes paralysis. GFP- and GFP::degron (a toxic aggregating GFP mutant)-expressing animals were used as controls.
