Results
Specimen 1D: embryonic day 14.5; Pou4f2tm2Xmu/Pou4f2+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: neural retina Present 1D

Specimen 3A: embryonic day 12.5; Pou4f2tm2Xmu/Pou4f2+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: neural retina Present Regionally restricted 3A Expression is confined to the ganglion cell layer of the central retina region.

Specimen 3B: embryonic day 14.5; Pou4f2tm2Xmu/Pou4f2+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note

Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: neural retina Strong Regionally restricted 3C Strong expression is seen in most, if not all, cells in the ganglion cell layer.
TS25: retina nerve fiber layer Present 3C Expression is seen in the axons in the neural fiber layer.

Specimen not shown: postnatal day 0; Pou4f2tm2Xmu/Pou4f2+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
