Assay
Reference: J:163272 Haugas M, et al., Gata2 is required for the development of inner ear semicircular ducts and the surrounding perilymphatic space. Dev Dyn. 2010 Sep;239(9):2452-69
Assay type: Immunohistochemistry
MGI Accession ID: MGI:7516489
Gene symbol: Gata2
Gene name: GATA binding protein 2
Antibody: anti-Gata2
Detection system: Secondary antibody coupled to Alexa Fluor 546
Assay notes: Controls were either wild-type Gata2<c/c> or Gata2<c/+> littermates without Cre-transgene or wild-type and Gata2<c/+> littermates with Cre-transgene that all showed normal inner ear morphology during embryonic development.
