The present invention relates to a composition comprising a plurality of cDNAs which are differentially expressed in disorders of the brain, particularly Alzheimer's disease and which may be used in their entirety or in part as to diagnose, to stage to treat or to monitor the treatment of a subject with a brain disorder.

Genes expressed in alzheimer's disease

A bigenic mouse is provided whose germ cells and somatic cells contain (i) inactive mouse TAU genes, and/or (ii) a transgene encoding the human TAU gene, with the transgene including all regulatory elements of the human TAU gene necessary for neuronal expression of the transgene in the bigenic mouse, and/or for human patterns of expression of the transgene in the bigenic mouse. The mice of the invention may contain one or two alleles for the human TAU gene (i.e., one or two TAU alleles). Mice of the invention are useful as a source of human Tau protein, and are useful as a model of Alzheimer's, Frontal Temporal Dementia and Parkinson's-like diseases.

Transgenic mouse expressing human tau gene

The invention provides a mammalian nucleic acid molecule and fragments thereof. It also provides for the use of the mammalian nucleic acid molecule for the characterization, diagnosis, evaluation, treatment, of conditions, diseases and disorders associated with gene expression and for the production of a model system. The invention additionally provides expression vectors and host cells for the production of the protein encoded by the mammalian nucleic acid molecule.

Down syndrome critical region 1-like proteins

The present invention provides methods and compositions for transferring large transgene polynucleotides and unlinked selectable marker polynucleotides into eukaryotic cells by a novel method designated co-lipofection. The methods and compositions of the invention are used to produce novel transgenic non-human animals harboring large transgenes, such as a transgene comprising a human APP gene or human immunoglobulin gene.
