Mice with Ppt1Δex4 mutation replicate the INCL phenotype and show an inflammation-associated loss of interneurons

Infantile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (INCL) results from mutations in the palmitoyl protein thioesterase (PPT1, CLN1) gene and is characterized by dramatic death of cortical neurons. We generated Ppt1Δex4 mice by a targeted deletion of exon 4 of the mouse Ppt1 gene. Similar to the clinical pheno...
