Reference: J:216290 Yeung J, et al., Wls provides a new compartmental view of the rhombic lip in mouse cerebellar development. J Neurosci. 2014 Sep 10;34(37):12527-37
Assay type: Immunohistochemistry
MGI Accession ID: MGI:5707888
Gene symbol: Wls
Gene name: wntless WNT ligand secretion mediator
Antibody: Anti-Gpr177 (WLAP-177)
Assay notes: Two antibodies were described. The N-terminus antibody MGI:5707881 and C-terminus antibody MGI:5707874. The expression patterns were identical between the two antibodies.
Results
Specimen 3: embryonic day 15.5; WlsGt(RRJ545)Byg/Wls+ (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Wls; green - Wls (assay MGI:5707890). This specimen used the C-terminus antibody.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: rhombic lip Present Regionally restricted 3_left , 3_right Expression was in the cytoplasm and staining was punctate. Expression was predominately in the interior face of the rhombic lip, while cells of the exterior face of the rhombic lip were negative. The reporter co-localized with antibody staining.

Specimen 4A: embryonic day 11.5; Atoh1tm2Hzo/Atoh1+ (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Wls; green - Atoh1 (assay MGI:5707892).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: rhombic lip Present 4A right , 4A left There was no co-expression with Atoh1.

Specimen 5A,C: embryonic day 13.5; Atoh1tm2Hzo/Atoh1+ (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Wls; green - Atoh1 (assay MGI:5707892).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: rhombic lip Present 5A , 5C Expression was throughout the rhombic lip. There is a column of cells oriented in the anterior to posterior domain that overlaps with Atoh1 expression.

Specimen 5D,F: embryonic day 15.5; Atoh1tm2Hzo/Atoh1+ (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Wls; green - Atoh1 (assay MGI:5707892).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: rhombic lip Present Regionally restricted 5D , 5F Expression was localized primarily to the interior face of the rhombic lip. Expression was largely non-overlapping with Atoh1, except for a few cells. Expression ends abruptly at the presumed dorsal border of the rhombic lip.

Specimen 5G,I: embryonic day 18.5; Atoh1tm2Hzo/Atoh1+ (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Wls; green - Atoh1 (assay MGI:5707892).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: rhombic lip Present 5I , 5G There was no overlap of expression with Atoh1.

Specimen 6: embryonic day 15.5; Atoh1tm2Hzo/Atoh1tm2Hzo (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Wls; green - Atoh1 (assay MGI:5707892).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: rhombic lip Present Regionally restricted 6_left , 6_right Expression was detected in the rhombic lip as in wild type. Co-expression with Atoh1-reporter was seen in a higher number of cells in the interior face of the rhombic lip in the mutant compared to wild type.
TS23: 4th ventricle choroid plexus Present 6_left , 6_right Expression was detected as in wild type.
TS23: midbrain-hindbrain junction Present 6_left , 6_right Expression was detected as in wild type.

Specimen 10A: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled with BrdU (green).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: rhombic lip Present Regionally restricted 10A Expression was detected in cells in the interior face of the rhombic lip, which had fewer BrdU-positive cells than the exterior face of the rhombic lip.
