Results
Specimen 5A, 5C: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 5A , 5C Expression in the basal plate of the ventricular layer near the sulcus limitans, and low level expression in the ependymal layer of the alar plate.

Specimen 5B, 5D: embryonic day 12.5; Rab23opb/Rab23opb (more )
Note: The original opb carriers were of a mixed outbred NMRI background. The opb mutant embryos used in this study were derived subsequent to at least 6 crosses of opb mutant males to wild-type C57Bl/6 females.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 5D , 5B Expression was not detected in the dorsalmost region. In other regions of the presumptive alar plate, expression was significantly stronger than in wild type embryos. The ventralmost region negative for expression appeared to be enlarged.

Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 5E In less severely affected spinal cord regions, expression extended to the dorsalmost cells; an elevated level of expression could be observed in the dorsal half.
