molecularNote | Human MAPT cDNA encoding the longest tau isoform of 441 amino acids (called tau40) containing four repeats, with 2 N-terminal inserts was inserted into a murine Thy1 expression vector. Founder line 1 was established by breeding with FVB/N females. Expression of human tau (MAPT) protein exclusively in brain and spinal cord was detected by Western blotting. |
