Results

Specimen 1B: embryonic day 14.5 (more

)
Note: Littermate control; the genotype was either NestinCre+/-Ric8a+/^tm2.1Aks, NestinCre-/-;Ric8a^tm1Aks/^tm2.1Aks, or NestinCre-/-; Ric8a+/^tm2.1Aks. Double labeled: red - Ric8a; green - laminin.

Structure	Level	Pattern	Image	Note
TS22: telencephalon subarachnoid space	Present	Regionally restricted	1B , 1C , 1D	Expression is in arachnoid trabeculae.
TS22: cerebral cortex	Present		1D , 1C , 1B
TS22: leptomeninges	Present		1D , 1C , 1B
TS22: telencephalon dura mater	Present		1D , 1C , 1B
TS22: telencephalon pia mater	Present		1D , 1C , 1B

Specimen 1B': embryonic day 14.5; Ric8a^tm1Aks/Ric8a^tm2.1Aks, Tg(Nes-cre)1Kln/0 (more

)
Note: Conditional mutant. Double labeled: red - Ric8a; green - laminin.

Structure	Level	Pattern	Image	Note
TS22: telencephalon subarachnoid space	Weak		1D' , 1B' , 1C'	There is a diminished arachnoid trabeculae network in this mutant.
TS22: telencephalon dura mater	Weak	Regionally restricted	1C' , 1B' , 1D'
TS22: cerebral cortex	Absent		1D' , 1B' , 1C'
TS22: telencephalon pia mater	Absent		1D' , 1B' , 1C'

Note: Littermate control; the genotype was either NestinCre+/-Ric8a+/^tm2.1Aks, NestinCre-/-;Ric8a^tm1Aks/^tm2.1Aks, or NestinCre-/-; Ric8a+/^tm2.1Aks. Double labeled: red - Ric8a; green - Calb2 (assay MGI:6416424).

Structure	Level	Pattern	Image	Note
TS22: cerebral cortex	Present	Regionally restricted	2A , 2B	Expression is absent in Cajal-Retzius cells.
