Figure Lengend Snippet: Total tau quantified in the cortex, striatum, and hippocampus with DA31 monoclonal antibody in rTg4510 mice treated for 6 weeks with haloperidol (N = 20) or sesame oil vehicle (N = 19). Levels of total tau did not differ significantly between groups.
Article Snippet: The rTg4510 mouse model manifests an aggressive phenotype of tau pathology in the forebrain structures in the form of neurofibrillary tangles with concomitant neuronal loss and cognitive deficits . rTg4510 breeding pairs (Tg(tetO-MAPT*P301L), stock #015815 and Tg(Camk2a-tT stock #003010)) were procured from Jackson Laboratories and housed in the Center for Comparative physiology at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research where all the experiments described in this report were conducted.
