Brains from different transgenic strains and ages developed overt cerebral Aβ deposition, including the β-amyloid precursor protein and presenilin 1 double-transgenic (APP/PS1) mice at ~ 14 months of age, the five familial Alzheimer’s disease mutations transgenic (5×FAD) mice at ~ 8 months, the triple-transgenic Alzheimer’s disease (3×Tg-AD) mice at ~ 22 months, and aged monkeys (Macaca mulatta and Macaca fascicularis) were examined. This evidence concerns the gene APP and early-onset autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease.
