Table 2 Serum Aβ40 levels of homozygous and hemizygous APP21 and APP31 lines determined by ELISA. h?: homozygosity status not determined; he:hemizygous; ho: homozygous; SE: Standard error; N: number of rats included in the statistical test; P: P value. All rats in the APP21 line had measurable levels of Aβ40 in serum. The Aβ40 levels were out of range in 10 of 20 rats in the APP31 line.
