Results
Specimen 1A: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Tfap2b; green - Tfap2a (assay MGI:7578959).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: retina Present 1A Extensive co-localized immunostaining with Tfap2a was detected.

Specimen 2A: embryonic day 17.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Tfap2b; green - Lhx1 (assay MGI:7578961).
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: neural retina retina horizontal cell Present 2A At this stage, 100% of Lhx1-positive cells in both the inner and outer retina were immunoreactive for Tfap2b.

Specimen 2B: postnatal day 0 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Tfap2b; green - Lhx1 (assay MGI:7578961).
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: neural retina retina horizontal cell Present 2B At this stage, 100% of Lhx1-positive cells were immunoreactive for Tfap2b.

Specimen 2C: postnatal day 7 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Tfap2b; green - Lhx1 (assay MGI:7578961).
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: neural retina retina horizontal cell Present 2C At this stage, 100% of Lhx1-positive cells were immunoreactive for Tfap2b.

Specimen not shown: postnatal adult (more )
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: neural retina retina horizontal cell Present At this stage, 100% of Lhx1-positive cells were immunoreactive for Tfap2b.

Specimen 2D: postnatal day 0 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Tfap2b; green - Tfap2a (assay MGI:7578959).
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: neural retina retina horizontal cell Strong Regionally restricted 2D Strong expression was detected in the future horizontal cell layer. Extensive overlap between Tfap2a and Tfap2b expression was observed (80% of immunopositive cells). In the outer retina, putative horizontal cells exhibiting strong Tfap2b signal were weakly stained for Tfap2a.

Specimen 5A: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Tfap2b; green - Tfap2c (assay MGI:7579003).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: neural retina Present Regionally restricted 5A Expression was detected both singly and co-labeled with Tfap2c. The Tfap2c-positive population was smaller than the Tfap2b-positive population. Approximately 20% of the immunopositive population was double labeled.

Specimen 5B: postnatal day 0 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Tfap2b; green - Tfap2c (assay MGI:7579003).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: neural retina Present Regionally restricted 5B Expression was detected both singly and co-labeled with Tfap2c. The Tfap2c-positive population was smaller than the Tfap2b-positive population. Approximately 20% of the immunopositive population was double labeled.

Specimen 5C: postnatal day 7 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Tfap2b; green - Tfap2c (assay MGI:7579003).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: neural retina Present Regionally restricted 5C Expression was detected both singly and co-labeled with Tfap2c. The Tfap2c-positive population was smaller than the Tfap2b-positive population.

Specimen 5D: postnatal adult (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Tfap2b; green - Tfap2c (assay MGI:7579003).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: neural retina Present Regionally restricted 5D Expression was detected both singly and co-labeled with Tfap2c. The Tfap2c-positive population was smaller than the Tfap2b-positive population. Only 3.4% of the immunopositive population was double labeled in the mature retina.
