Reference: J:108338 Tanifuji-Terai N, et al., Expression of keratin 12 and maturation of corneal epithelium during development and postnatal growth. Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2006 Feb;47(2):545-51
Assay type: Immunohistochemistry
MGI Accession ID: MGI:5141139
Gene symbol: Krt12
Gene name: keratin 12
Antibody: anti-K12N
Detection system: Secondary antibody coupled to fluorescein
Assay notes: The authors used two antibodies. One was specific for the amino terminus and the other for the carboxyl terminus. Identical results were obtained with each.
Results
Specimen E15.5: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: cornea epithelium Present Regionally restricted 1_K12 E15.5 Expression is present in the suprabasal epithelial cells.

Specimen E17.5: embryonic day 17.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: cornea epithelium Present Regionally restricted 1_K12 E17.5 Expression is present in the suprabasal epithelial cells. This is the time of peak expression.

Specimen E19.5: embryonic day 19.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: cornea epithelium Present Expression levels are beginning to decline in the suprabasal epithelial cells.

Specimen P0: postnatal day 0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: cornea epithelium Trace 1_K12 P0

Specimen P2: postnatal day 2 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: cornea epithelium Trace

Specimen P4: postnatal day 4 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: cornea epithelium Present Regionally restricted 1_K12 P4 There is no expression in the corneal basal cells.

Specimen P10: postnatal day 10 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: cornea epithelium Present Non-Uniform 1_K12 P10 Expression is primarily limited to suprabasal and superficial layers.

Specimen P30: postnatal day 30 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: cornea epithelium Present Non-Uniform 2_P30 A significant number of basal corneal epithelial cells do not stain, although the number that do stain increases as the animals age.

Specimen P90: postnatal day 90 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: cornea epithelium Present Non-Uniform 2_P90 A significant number of basal corneal epithelial cells do not stain, although the number that do stain increases as the animals age.
