Abstract: The invention provides transgenic, non-human animals and transgenic non-human
mammalian cells harboring a transgene encoding a p25 (activator of the protein kinase cdk 5)
polypeptide. 
     The two neuropathological lesions associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) are
amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), composed predominantly of amyloid β
peptides and hyperphosphorylated tau, respectively. While animal models for plaque
formation exist, there is no animal model that recapitulates the formation of NFTs. This
invention provides transgenic mice that overexpress human p25, an activator of cdk5,
resulting in tau that is hyperphosphorylated at AD-relevant epitopes. Deposition of tau is
detected in the amygdala, thalamus and cortex. Increased phosphorylated neurofilament,
silver-positive neurons end neuronal death are also observed in these regions. We conclude
that the overexpression of p25, an activator of cdk5, is sufficient to produce
hyperphosphorylation of tau and neuronal death. The p25 transgenic mouse represents the
first model for tau pathology in AD.
