    摘要: The invention provides methods and systems for controlling the expression and, in general, the cellular activity of preselected polynucleic acid molecules. The invention also provides methods and systems for genetically modifying cells and multi-cellular organisms to impart resistance to viruses. The invention further provides methods and systems for genetically modifying cells and multi-cellular organisms so that they diagnostically report viral infection. One aspect of the invention involves rendering target polynucleic nucleic acid molecules as functional templates for at least one template-directed polynucleic acid polymerase so that utilization of the polynucleic acid molecule as a template by the polymerase modulates the activity of the targeted polynucleic acid molecule. Other aspects of the invention of the invention involve rendering selected polynucleic nucleic acid molecules as targets for RNA silencing, whether or not the silencing is polymerase-mediated.

    摘要: The construction of transgenic animal models of human Alzheimer'disease, and methods of using the models to screen potential Alzheimer's disease therapeutics, are described. The models are characterized by pathologies similar to pathologies observed in Alzheimer's disease, based on expression of all three forms of the null-amyloid precursor protein (APP), APP695, APP751, and APP770, as well as various point mutations based on naturally occurring mutations, such as the London and Indiana familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) mutations at amino acid 717, predicted mutations in the APP gene, and truncated forms of APP that contain the Anull region. Animal cells can be isolated from the transgenic animals or prepared using the same constructs with standard techniques such as lipofection or electroporation. The transgenic animals, or animal cells, are used to screen for compounds altering the pathological course of Alzheimer's disease as measured by their effect on the amount of APP, null-amyloid peptide, and numerous other Alzheimer's disease markers in the animals, the neuropathology of the animals, as well as by behavioral alterations in the animals.
