cloning of the extracellular enzyme domain (52-750) with a is-tag and a gp64 signal sequence in pBAC-6 expression vector in Spodoptera frugiperda insect cells and recombinant expression of the His-tagged enzyme in insect cells and in Alzheimer disease mice using intracerebral injection of the NEP-expression vector. Accumulation of amyloid beta is significantly reduced and the behavioral performance of the mice is improved, phenotype, overview | Homo sapiens |
