About

Transgenic mice carrying the Arctic (E693G) and Swedish (KM670/6701NL) amyloid-b precursor protein (AβPP) develop amyloid-beta (Aβ) deposits in the brain that resemble Alzheimer’s disease neuropathology. The tg-ArcSwe atlas provides access to Aβx-40 immunolabeled histological section images from representative 12 month old tg-ArcSwe mice (Lord et al., Neurobiol. Aging 27:67-77, 2006), showing the morphology and spatial distribution of Aβx-40 plaque deposits across the brain.

Access image repository

The virtual microscopy viewer allows interactive zooming and panning. Original images are available for download via separate link.

Re-use of data from this repository is allowed provided that reference is given to the following publication: Lillehaug S, Syverstad GH, Nilsson LNG,Bjaalie JG, Leergaard TB, Torp R (2014): Brainwide distribution and variance of amyloid-beta deposits in tg-ArcSwe mice.

Experimental procedures in brief

  • Animals: mice carrying a human APP cDNA with the Arctic (p. E693G) and Swedish (p. KM670/671NL) mutations
  • Immunohistochemistry:
    • Sagittal sections from right hemisphere were cryosectioned at 25 µm.
    • Amyloid deposits were identified using primary antibodies Aβx-40, visualized using streptavidin-biotinylated horseradish peroxidase comples and diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride
    • Digital images were created using a slidescanner (Mirax Scan, Carl Zeiss Microimaging, Jena, Germany)

For further details, see Lillehaug et al., Neurobiol Aging 35:556-564, 2013.
