Summary

APOE3 knock-in mice express humanized APOE3 from the endogenous ApoE locus.

Homozygotes are viable and fertile.

Modification Details

APOE3 knock-in mice were generated by using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing to introduce a point mutation (leading to an arginine-to-cysteine substitution at amino acid 130) into an existing humanized APOE isoform 4 knock-in allele (ApoEtm1.1(APOE*4)Adiuj).

Related Strains

APOE4 Knock-In (JAX). APOE4 knock-in mice express a humanized APOE4 allele from the endogenous ApoE locus.

Phenotype Characterization
