ABR data from the conditional knockout genotype control groups.
(A) Control data from Myo15-cre conditional cross compared alongside wild type Nptn+/+;Myo15-cre- mice (n = 5). Presence of the either the Myo15-cre allele (Nptnfl/fl;Myo15-cre+, n = 5), or the floxed Nptn allele (Nptn+/fl;Myo15-cre-, n = 7 or Nptnfl/fl;Myo15-cre-, n = 6) did not affect ABR thresholds. (B) Control data from the Prestin-CreERT2 conditional cross compared alongside wild type Nptn+/+;Prestin-CreERT2- with (n = 4) or without tamoxifen (n = 3). Mice dosed with tamoxifen had comparable ABR thresholds to those dosed with vehicle only. Presence of the Prestin-CreERT2 allele did not alter ABR threshold (Nptn+/+;Prestin-CreERT2+;tamoxifen, n = 3). Moreover, mice carrying both alleles, but dosed with vehicle (Nptnfl/fl;Prestin-CreERT2+;vehicle, n = 4) also had normal ABR thresholds. Data are mean ± S.D.
