In this regard, Spencer et al. (2016) developed a lentiviral vector expressing NPY, which was fused to a brain transport peptide (apolipoprotein B) for widespread CNS delivery in an amyloid precursor protein-tg mouse model of AD in order to explore the function and role of NPY in neurogenesis of AD (Spencer et al., 2016). The gene discussed is APOB; the disease is Alzheimer disease.
