Note: Double labeled: red - Tfap2a; green - Tfap2b (assay MGI:7520306).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: cerebellum primordium Present Regionally restricted 3D , 3F Coexpressed with Tfap2b in the ventricular zone. Some Tfap2b+ cells did not express Tfap2a.
TS20: cerebellum white matter Present 3F , 3D Coexpressed with Tfap2b.

Specimen 3G/J: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: Triple labeled: red - Tfap2a; blue - Lhx1 (assay MGI:7520314) and Lhx5 (assay MGI:7520410); green - Olig2 (assay MGI:7520313).
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: cerebellum primordium cerebellar inhibitory GABAergic interneuron Present 3G , 3J Coexpressed with Olig2 and Lhx1/5 (early postmitotic GABAergic neurons) in the ventricular zone. Not all Olig2-expressing cells in the ventricular zone expressed Tfap2a.
