  (MGI:1202717)

• Mutation details: The human Thy-1 promoter was used to drive expression of a presenilin cDNA. Two lines were examined for their ability to rescue phenotypic defects in presenilin deficient mice. Ability to rescue phenotype differed somewhat but line 17-2 was the better of the two lines and was chosen as representative. (J:77306)
