Results
Specimen 1A: embryonic day 20.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: optic nerve Present 1A
TS26: retina Absent 1A
Specimen 1B: postnatal day 1 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: optic nerve Strong 1B
TS27: optic disc Present 1B Expression in the optic nerve head.
Specimen 1C: postnatal day 3 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: optic disc Strong 1C
TS27: retina ganglion cell layer Present 1C
Specimen 1D: postnatal day 3 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: retina ganglion cell layer Present Regionally restricted 1D Expression in ganglion cell layer cells located very close to the optic nerve head.
Specimen 1E: postnatal day 5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: optic disc Strong 1E
TS28: retina ganglion cell layer Present Regionally restricted 1E Expression in the central retina almost up to the middle of the retina.
Specimen 1F: postnatal day 5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: retina ganglion cell layer Present Regionally restricted 1F Expression in the peripheral retina; cells at the leading edge showed less expression than those located closer to the optic nerve head.
Specimen 1G: postnatal day 7 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: retina ganglion cell layer Present Regionally restricted 1G Expression in central retina.
Specimen 1H: postnatal day 7 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: retina ganglion cell layer Present Regionally restricted 1H Expression in astrocytes in the peripheral retina.
Specimen 1I: postnatal day 7 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: retina ganglion cell layer Present Regionally restricted 1I Expression in astrocytes in the central retina. Authors state that the astrocyte distribution was adult like.
Specimen 1J: postnatal adult (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: retina ganglion cell layer Present Regionally restricted 1J Expression in central retina.
Specimen 1K: postnatal adult (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: retina ganglion cell layer Present Regionally restricted 1K Expression in peripheral retina.
