Expression of tau in transgenic animals. Quantitative real-time PCR reveals equivalent levels of tau transcripts in flies expressing 0N4R wild-type and FTDP-17-linked forms of tau under the control of the pan-neuronal elav-GAL4 driver. Values are normalized to wild type. Experiments were run in triplicate and the experiment was repeated at least three times. There were no significant differences in relative transcript levels (p = 0.5, ANOVA). Flies are 1 d old. Full genotypes are provided in Figure 1-1.
