Results
Specimen 2A: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: neural retina Present Regionally restricted 2A Most intense expression along inner margin, corresponding to developing optic fiber layer, and optic disc, continuous with optic nerve. Very faint expression in neuroblastic cell layer immedicately adjacent to optic fiber layer.

Specimen 3: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: retina nerve fiber layer Very strong Regionally restricted 3 Expression significantly more intense, extending from central to peripheral retina. Expression in optic fibre layer and optic nerve than at E13
TS23: retina nuclear layer Strong Regionally restricted 3 Stronger expression in neuroblast layer, extending farther toward the outer retina.

Specimen 4A: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Note: Intraorbital portion of optic nerve.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: optic nerve Present Regionally restricted 4A Strong expression over entire course of optic nerve. Expression in intraorbital portion consolidated almost exclusively in ventral zone. Expression in axon bundles located primarily in ventral part of optic nerve.

Specimen 4B: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Note: Mid-nerve region of optic nerve.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: optic nerve Present Regionally restricted 4B Expression in axon bundles located primarily in ventral part of optic nerve. In mid-nerve region, a few fascicles have moved toward the dorsal region.

Specimen 4C: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Note: Intracranial portion of optic nerve.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: optic nerve Present Regionally restricted 4C Expression in axon bundles located primarily in ventral part of optic nerve. Some fascles reach most dorsal aspect in intracranial region.
