Mice devoid of the glial fibrillary acidic protein develop normally and are susceptible to scrapie prions
Open accessAbstract
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is an intermediate filament protein specifically expressed in astrocytes in the CNS. To examine the function of GFAP in vivo, the Gfap gene was disrupted by gene targeting in embryonic stem cells. Mice homozygous for the mutation were completely devoid of GFAP but exhibited normal development and showed no obvious anatomical abnormalities in the CNS. When inoculated with infectious scrapie prions, the mutant mice exhibited neuropathological changes typical of prion diseases. Infectious prions accumulated in brains of the mutant mice to a degree similar to that in control littermates. These results suggest that GFAP is not essential for the morphogenesis of the CNS or for astrocytic responses against neuronal injury. The results argue against the hypothesis that GFAP plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of prion diseases.

Absence of GFAP and/or Vim in mice has no major effect under physiological conditions.
“Absence of GFAP and/or Vim in mice has no major effect under physiological conditions (17–20), reflecting the role of intermediate filament (nanofilament) system as a signaling platform in situations connected with cellular stress (21).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
