Information from provider
| Provider | Elisabet Andersson |
| Provider affiliation | Dept. Comparative Medicine, KCTT, Karolinska Institutet |
| Genetic information | The entire coding region was replaced with a cassette containing tau-lacZ and neomycin. Beta-galactosidase is expressed from this allele under the control of the endogenous promoter. |
| Phenotypic information | Mice homozygous for the mutant alleles were born at Mendelian frequency and survived through adulthood. No abnormal phenotype was observed. Nervous system abnormal axon outgrowth: axonal tracts are thinner than in wild-type mice, especially for the tenth cranial nerve; abnormal vagus ganglion morphology: axonal tracts are thinner than in wild-type mice, especially for the tenth cranial nerve. Cellular abnormal axon outgrowth: axonal tracts are thinner than in wild-type mice, especially for the tenth cranial nerve. |
| Breeding history | Mixed, not congenic. |
