Reference: J:148 Maden M, et al., Domains of cellular retinoic acid-binding protein I (CRABP I) expression in the hindbrain and neural crest of the mouse embryo. Mech Dev. 1992 Mar;37(1-2):13-23
Assay type: Immunohistochemistry
MGI Accession ID: MGI:5442214
Gene symbol: Crabp1
Gene name: cellular retinoic acid binding protein I
Antibody: anti-CRABP I
Detection system: Biotinylated secondary antibody/[Strept]avidin coupled to horseradish peroxidase
Assay notes: The reference for the antibody describes two antibodies (MGI:1340376 and MGI:4460229); either may have been used in this assay. The fixative was Perfix.
Results
Specimen not shown: embryonic day 7.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: head mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted In 2 out of 9 cases, expression was detected in a thin stripe of mesenchyme in the region of the future hindbrain, posterior to the head fold.
TS11: embryo endoderm Absent
TS11: neural ectoderm Absent

Specimen 3: embryonic day 8.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: future hindbrain Present Regionally restricted 3 Expression was detected in the future hindbrain. Two caudal areas of slight convexity were labelled.
TS12: neural ectoderm Present Regionally restricted 3 Expression was only detected in the future hindbrain. There was no immunoreactivity in the neural tube rostral or caudal to it.

Specimen 4: embryonic day 8.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: neural crest Present Regionally restricted 4 Expression was detected in neural crest cells in the mesenchyme around the diencephalon and optic vesicle and as a tongue of cells leaving the most rostral labelled rhombomere.

Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: rhombomere 4 Present 5
TS13: rhombomere 5 Present 5
TS13: rhombomere Present Regionally restricted 5 Expression was detected in rhombomeres 4, 5 and 6.

Specimen 6: embryonic day 9.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS14: 1st branchial arch mesenchyme derived from neural crest Weak 6
TS14: rhombomere 2 Weak 6
TS14: rhombomere 4 Present 6
TS14: rhombomere 5 Present 6
TS14: rhombomere 6 Present 6
TS14: rhombomere 1 Absent 6
TS14: rhombomere 3 Absent 6
TS14: rhombomere 7 Absent 6 Expression tended to tail off into rhombomere 7.
TS14: 2nd branchial arch mesenchyme derived from neural crest Strong 6
TS14: 3rd branchial arch mesenchyme derived from neural crest Strong 6
TS14: future midbrain roof plate Strong Single cells 6 Expression extended over the caudal two thirds of the midbrain. Immunoreactivity was not throughout the thickness of the neuroepithelium, but in single neuroblasts on the pial surface of the midbrain.

Specimen 8: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: rhombomere 4 Trace 8
TS17: rhombomere 5 Trace 8
TS17: rhombomere 6 Trace 8
TS17: hindbrain mantle layer Present Regionally restricted 8 Expression was detected in the axons of the mantle layer throughout the rhombencephalon.

Specimen 9: embryonic day 8.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: future prosencephalon Absent 9
TS13: 2nd branchial arch mesenchyme derived from neural crest Present Regionally restricted 9 Expression was observed in a stream of intensely labeled neural crest cells from rhombomere 4, passing rostral to the otic vesicle and into the second branchial arch.
TS13: head mesenchyme derived from neural crest Present Regionally restricted 9 Expression was observed in a stream of intensely labeled neural crest cells from rhombomere 4, passing rostral to the otic vesicle and into the second branchial arch.
TS13: 1st branchial arch mesenchyme derived from neural crest Weak 9
TS13: head mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 9 The mesenchyme surrounding the forebrain is positive.
