rTg-D: A novel transgenic rat model of cerebral amyloid angiopathy Type-2

Background: Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is common disorder of the elderly, a prominent comorbidity of Alzheimer's disease, and causes vascular cognitive impairment and dementia. Previously, we generated a transgenic rat model of capillary CAA type-1 that develops many pathological features of human disease. However, a complementary rat model of larger vessel CAA type-2 disease has been lacking. Methods: A novel transgenic rat model (rTg-D) was generated that produces human familial CAA Dutch E22Q mutant amyloid β-protein (Aβ) in brain and develops larger vessel CAA type-2. Quantitative b...
