Human APOE4 increases microglia reactivity at Aβ plaques in a mouse model of Aβ deposition

BACKGROUND: Having the apolipoprotein E4 (APOE-ϵ4) allele is the strongest genetic risk factor for the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) in the brain is influenced by APOE genotype. Transgenic mice co-expressing five familial AD mutations (5xFAD) in the prese...
