Results
Specimen 6A: embryonic day 11.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS18: optic stalk Present Regionally restricted 6A Expressed in the ventral part of the optic stalk.
TS18: retina Present Regionally restricted 6A Expressed in the part of the neural retina farthest from the surface ectoderm.
TS18: lens pit Absent 6A

Specimen 6B: embryonic day 11.0 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Pax2; green - Nefl (assay MGI:5441198).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS18: myelencephalon lateral wall Present Regionally restricted 6B Expressing cells are distal to the lumen, tightly clustered, and adjacent to the processes of the marginal layer.

Specimen 6C: embryonic day 11.0 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Pax2; green - Nefl (assay MGI:5441198).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS18: neural tube lateral wall Present Regionally restricted 6C Expressing cells are tightly clustered in two large domains dorsal and ventral to the sulcus limitans. They form two longitudinal columns that extend along all but the most caudal part of the neural tube.
TS18: dorsal root ganglion Absent 6C
TS18: neural tube floor plate Absent 6C

Specimen 6D/E: embryonic day 12.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 6D , 6E Expressed in cells lies directly lateral to the neuroepithelium and extends dorso-ventrally, excluding the most ventral quarter of the neural tube.
TS20: spinal cord lateral wall Present Regionally restricted 6E , 6D The two more medial compartments, previously delineated by the sulcus limitans, have merged into one continuous region.
TS20: spinal cord marginal layer Present Regionally restricted 6E Expressed in the cells, presumably neurons that have left the mitotic cycle sooner and migrated radially, located adjacent to the axon bundles in the marginal layer.

Specimen 6F/G: embryonic day 14.0 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Pax2; green - Nefl (assay MGI:5441198).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: spinal cord Present Diffuse 6F , 6G Expressing cells are dispersed throughout the neural tube with a high concentration in the intermediate grey region of the pars dorsalis and pars ventralis. Also expressed in the most dorsal region of the neural tube.
TS22: spinal cord marginal layer Present Diffuse 6G Expressing cells are located adjacent to, but not within the axon bundles of the marginal layer.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 17.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: spinal cord Present The positions of the expressing cells are similar as at E14. Expression begins to decrease at E17, the intensity of staining is lower although the number of positive cells is high.
