The ACB006 embryonic stem cell line was established using day 3.5 blastocysts from a cross between a hemizygous B6.Cg-Tg(PDGFB-APPSwInd)20Lms/2Mmjax female (MMRRC #034836/JAX#006293) and a C57BL/6 congenic male homozygous for Mapttm1(EGFP)Klt. Wild type controls from this cross include MMRRC#037554 and #037555. All lines are heterozygous for Mapttm1(EGFP)Klt. These cell lines have been proven useful in in vitro experiments directed towards differentiation of ESCs to cortical neurons. Cell lines were derived and maintained on mitomycin-C treated mouse embryonic fibroblast feeder cells (MEFs) derived from C57BL/6J embryos. This cell line was not germline tested.

The ACB001 embryonic stem cell line was established from a cross between a hemizygous B6.Cg-Tg(PDGFB-APPSwInd)20Lms/2Mmjax (J20) female (JAX#006293)and a C57BL/6 congenic male homozygous for Mapttm1(EGFP)Klt. This cell line may be useful in in vitro experiments directed towards differentiation of ESCs to cortical neurons expressing AD-relevant mutations.
