Overview
Nomenclature: B6.129P2-Apoetm3(APOE*4)Mae N8
- Homozygous for a human APOE4 gene targeted replacement of the endogenous mouse Apoe gene
- Expresses human apolipoprotein E4 isoform under the control of the murine Apoe regulatory sequences
- ApoE is a plasma protein involved in cholesterol transport, with three human isoforms (E2, E3, and E4) that have been associated with atherosclerosis and Alzheimer's Disease (AD)
- E4 occurs in approximately 14% of the human population
- In humans, the E4 allele is associated with increased plasma cholesterol and a greater risk of coronary artery disease
- On a normal diet, this model has normal plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels, but altered relative quantities of different plasma lipoprotein particles, and delayed clearance of vLDL particles, with only half the clearance rate observed in the APOE3 targeted replacement mice
- On a high-fat diet, develops abnormal serum lipid profiles and atherosclerotic plaques that are more severe than the APOE3 model, with twice the cholesterol, ApoE, and ApoB-48 levels and larger plaques than the APOE3 model
- Exhibits an increased risk of atherosclerosis compared with wild type and APOE3 targeted replacement mice
- Useful for studying the role of human APOE polymorphism in atherosclerosis, lipid metabolism and Alzheimer's disease

Packing Practices
Taconic standard practice is to recombine animals of different home cages and/or ages from a single model and sex during packing, except in specific cases where Taconic's animal welfare policy prohibits recombination due to aggression or other concerns. When an order is fulfilled with animals from more than one week of birth, this standard practice results in animals from a range of birth weeks packed together in a single TTC. When an order is fulfilled with animals from genotyped models, this standard practice results in animals from different home cages packed together in a single TTC.
Customers who wish to keep animals from different weeks of birth separated should place orders with the special instruction "Divide and label by age." Note that this special request can result in increased costs for additional Taconic Transit Cages, dividers and/or freight charges.
Taconic discourages other types of custom packing requests as they can have a negative impact on animal welfare. Learn more.
