The PS19 mouse model harbors the T34 isoform of microtubule-associated protein tau with one N-terminal insert and four microtubule binding repeats (1N4R) encoding the human P301S mutation, all driven by the mouse prion protein promoter. These mice are useful in studying neurofibrillary tangles, neurodegenerative tauopathy and Alzheimer's disease.
