In addition, we analyzed vimentin in mouse models of PD and multiple system atrophy (MSA), overexpressing human aSyn either under the Thy-1 promoter [Thy1-SNCA, line 61, (41)] or the myelin basic protein promoter [MBP-SNCA, line 29, (42)], respectively. The gene discussed is THY1; the disease is Parkinson disease.
