To determine the effects of microglial Slc11a2 knockdown on AD-related phenotypes in vivo, triple-transgenic Cx3cr1Cre−ERT2;Slc11a2flfl;APP/PS1+or – mice were generated and administered corn oil or tamoxifen to induce knockdown at 5–6 months of age. This evidence concerns the gene APP and Alzheimer disease.
