Effects of tau Ab injection on the total length of axon produced
| Experiment number | Total axon length (μm) mean + SD (n*) | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Uninjected | 1114 ± 436 (23) |
| Anti-tau injected | 1421 ± 744 (24) | |
| 2 | Uninjected | 1436 ± 429 (18) |
| Anti-tau injected | 1488 ± 565 (15) | |
| 3 | Uninjected | 1572 ± 780 (43) |
| Anti-tau injected | 1940 ± 764 (26) | |
| 4 | Uninjected | 2158 ± 590 (12) |
| Injected | ||
| Nonimmune | 2394 ± 635 (12) | |
| Anti-tau | 2580 ± 839 (11) |
The total length of all axons and their branches was determined for injected and uninjected cells. *n = the total number of axons analyzed. The total length of axon produced by cells injected with tau Abs did not differ significantly from that generated by cells injected with non-immune Ab (see Results for additional details).
