molecularNote | Expression of a cDNA encoding N-terminal human HTT (amino acids 1-212) containing 150 glutamines in the repeat region (150Q) is under the control of the oligodendrocyte specific murine Plp1 promoter. Western blot confirmed formation of aggregated HTT in the brain and selective expression in the brain stem, striatum, and corpus callosum. |
