Results
Specimen 4d: embryonic day 17.0-17.5 (more )
Note: Sagittal section. Double labeled: gray/brown - Otx2; blue - Calb1 (assay MGI:5649355).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: superior colliculus Present Regionally restricted 4d Expression is present in cells of superficial gray.

Specimen 5g: embryonic day 17.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: brown - Otx2; blue - Calb1 (assay MGI:5649355).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: cerebellum Present Regionally restricted 5g Expression is present in the granule precursors of the external granular layer.

Specimen 7h: embryonic day 12.0 (more )
Note: Transverse section. Double labeled: brown - Otx2; dark violet/black - Mapt (Tau; assay MGI:5649368).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: olfactory epithelium Present 7h Expression is mainly restricted to nuclei lying in luminal position.
TS20: nasal mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 7h Expression is arrayed in cylindrical structures that appear to ensheath the axon bundles of the olfactory and vomeronasal nerves, along the trajectories they follow from the medial main olfactory bulb and vomeronasal organ to the olfactory bulb.

Specimen 7i: embryonic day 12.0 (more )
Note: Transverse section. Double labeled: brown - Otx2; dark violet/black - Mapt (Tau; assay MGI:5649368).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: olfactory epithelium Present 7i Expression is mainly restricted to nuclei lying in luminal position.
TS20: nasal mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 7i Expression is arrayed in cylindrical structures that appear to ensheath the axon bundles of the olfactory and vomeronasal nerves, along the trajectories they follow from the medial main olfactory bulb and vomeronasal organ to the olfactory bulb.

Specimen 7j/k: embryonic day 12.0 (more )
Note: Sagittal section. Double labeled: brown - Otx2; dark violet/black - Mapt (Tau; assay MGI:5649368).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: nasal mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 7k , 7j Expression is arrayed in cylindrical structures that appear to ensheath the axon bundles of the olfactory and vomeronasal nerves, along the trajectories they follow from the medial main olfactory bulb and vomeronasal organ to the olfactory bulb.
TS20: nose Present Regionally restricted 7j , 7k Expression is present in scattered cells localized just ventral to the anlage of the olfactory bulb. These cells are tightly associated with the most distal parts of the olfactory axons growing toward the olfactory bulb.
TS20: olfactory epithelium Present 7k , 7j

Specimen 7l/m: embryonic day 12.0 (more )
Note: Sagittal section. Double labeled: brown - Otx2; dark violet/black - Mapt (Tau; assay MGI:5649368).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: nasal mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 7l , 7m Expression is arrayed in cylindrical structures that appear to ensheath the axon bundles of the olfactory and vomeronasal nerves, along the trajectories they follow from the medial main olfactory bulb and vomeronasal organ to the olfactory bulb.
TS20: olfactory epithelium Present 7l , 7m
