To study the expression/function of Tbx10 , a T‐box gene, Tbx10LacZ/+ mice were established by replacing the T‐box coding region with a LacZ gene. X‐gal staining showed that LacZ+ cells were localized to two‐cell populations in rhombomere 4 and rhombomere 6. No significant differences in the locations of LacZ+ cells were found between Tbx10LacZ/+ and Tbx10LacZ/LacZ mice, and the Tbx10LacZ/LacZ mice were viable and fertile. We found that the LacZ+ cells are present in both embryonic and adult mice. Histological studies suggest that the rhombomere 4‐derived LacZ+ cells are a subpopulation of the ventral interneurons in the pons.
