Reference: J:46971 Loomis CA, et al., Analysis of the genetic pathway leading to formation of ectopic apical ectodermal ridges in mouse Engrailed-1 mutant limbs. Development. 1998 Mar;125(6):1137-48
Assay type: RNA in situ
MGI Accession ID: MGI:1339623
Gene symbol: Lmx1b
Gene name: LIM homeobox transcription factor 1 beta
Probe: Lmx1b cDNA1
Probe preparation: Antisense labelled with digoxigenin RNA
Visualized with: Alkaline phosphatase
Assay notes: All the specimens were discussed in the paper as in limb bud stages. Some assay results are only annotated to forelimb buds, but they could also be annotated to the same limb bud stage hindlimbs of a later embryonic date.

Specimen 3I: embryonic day 11.5-12.5; Wnt7atm1Amc/Wnt7atm1Amc (more )
Note: Limb-bud stage (stage 7/8). Double labeled: purple - Lmx1b; pink - En1 reporter (assay MGI:5318340).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: hindlimb Present Regionally restricted 3I In the stage 5/6 hindlimb expression is relatively normal in the cells nearly abutting the apical ectodermal ridge.
TS20: forelimb Present Regionally restricted 3I In the 7/8 forelimb, there is no expression in the distodorsal mesenchyme adjacent to the ridge.

Note: Limb-bud stage (stage 10).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: limb Present Regionally restricted 4J Expression has cleared from the posterior ventral area. Clearing is irregular compared to wild-type embryos.
