Characterization of Pathology in Transgenic Mice Over-Expressing Human Genomic and cDNA Tau Transgenes
Abstract
To examine the normal cellular function of tau and its role in pathogenesis, we have created transgenic mice that overexpress a tau transgene derived from a human PAC that contains the coding sequence, intronic regions, and regulatory regions of the human gene. All six isoforms of human tau are represented in the transgenic mouse brain at the mRNA and protein level and the human tau is distributed in neurites and at synapses, but is absent from cell bodies. A comparison between the genomic tau mice and mice that overexpress a tau cDNA transgene shows that overall, the distribution of tau is similar in the two lines, but human tau is located in the somatodendritic compartment of many neurons in the cDNA mice. Tau-immunoreactive axonal swellings were found in the spinal cords of the cDNA mice, which correlated with a hind-limb abnormality, whereas neuropathology was essentially normal in the genomic mice up to 8 months of age.

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.
