Results
Specimen 1A,B: embryonic day 15.5; Grntm1Blrl/Grn+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: brain meninges Strong 1A
TS23: epidermis Strong 1A
TS23: cortical plate Weak Scattered 1B , 1A Scattered cells are positive, but most are associated with blood vessels or epithelia.
TS23: blood vessel Weak Scattered 1A , 1B

Specimen 1C: embryonic day 15.5; Grntm1Blrl/Grn+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: cerebral cortex intermediate zone Present Scattered 1C Staining in neurons was rare at E15.5.

Specimen 1D: postnatal day 0; Grntm1Blrl/Grn+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: neocortex Weak 1D Numerous cells were labeled, but the intensity of the staining was weak in any given cell. Staining in neurons became initially apparent.

Specimen 1E: postnatal day 7; Grntm1Blrl/Grn+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: cerebral cortex Present 1E Staining was stronger than at earlier stages.

Specimen 1F: postnatal month 3-4; Grntm1Blrl/Grn+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: cerebral cortex Present 1F Adult cortex showed peak expression.

Specimen 4B: postnatal month 3-4; Grntm1Blrl/Grn+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: neocortex layer Present Non-Uniform 4B Expression was detected in all cell layers of the neocortex. Staining was more intense in the large pyramidal neurons of layers V and VI.
TS28: cortical layer V Strong 4B Staining was more intense in the large pyramidal neurons.
TS28: cortical layer VI Strong 4B Staining was more intense in the large pyramidal neurons.

Specimen 4D: postnatal month 3-4; Grntm1Blrl/Grn+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: hippocampus pyramidal cell layer Present Non-Uniform 4D Expression was strongest in the pyramidal cells in the CA3 region of the hippocampus and much less pronounced in the CA1 region.
TS28: CA3 pyramidal cell layer Strong 4D
TS28: CA1 pyramidal cell layer Weak 4D

Specimen not shown: postnatal month 3-4; Grntm1Blrl/Grn+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: amygdala Moderate
TS28: hypothalamus Moderate
TS28: midbrain Moderate
TS28: thalamus Moderate
TS28: brainstem Weak

Specimen 4F: postnatal month 3-4; Grntm1Blrl/Grn+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: corpus striatum Weak 4F

Specimen 4H: postnatal month 3-4; Grntm1Blrl/Grn+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: cerebellum Purkinje cell layer Absent 4H
TS28: cerebellum granule cell layer Absent 4H
TS28: cerebellum molecular layer Absent 4H

Specimen S1G: postnatal day 7; Grntm1Blrl/Grntm1Blrl (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: cerebral cortex Present S1G

Specimen S1H: postnatal day 7; Grntm1Blrl/Grn+ (more )
Note: Double labeled: blue - Grn reporter; red - Grn protein (assay MGI:5620507).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: cerebellum Present S1H , S1J Co-labeling with anti-Grn antibody indicates that the knock-in reporter and the antibody label the identical set of cells.
