Results
Specimen 1A E12.5: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Macf1; green - Nes (assay MGI:7858921).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: cerebral cortex Present Widespread 1A E12.5 Macf1 , 1A E12.5 merge MACF1 was broadly expressed in the developing cerebral cortex at E12.5, with higher levels in the ventricular zone and upper cortical areas near the marginal zone.
TS20: cerebral cortex ventricular layer Present Regionally restricted 1A E12.5 merged high mag , 1A E12.5 Macf1 , 1A E12.5 Macf1 high mag , 1A E12.5 merge Higher expression levels were observed in the ventricular zone. Ventricular labeling was associated with nestin-positive radial glial neural progenitors.

Specimen 1A E15.5: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Macf1; green - Nes (assay MGI:7858921).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: cerebral cortex ventricular layer Weak Regionally restricted 1A E15.5 Macf1 high mag , 1A E15.5 merge , 1A E15.5 Macf1 , 1A E15.5 merged high mag At E15.5, MACF1 expression at the ventricular zone was reduced compared to the expression pattern at E12.5.
TS23: cortical plate Present Regionally restricted 1A E15.5 merge , 1A E15.5 Macf1 , 1A E15.5 Macf1 high mag , 1A E15.5 merged high mag Instead, MACF1 levels were higher in the cortical plate where postmitotic neurons were positioned.

Specimen 1B E12.5: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Macf1; green - Map2 (assay MGI:7858922).
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: cerebral cortex marginal layer cerebral cortex neuron Present 1B E12.5 merged high mag , 1B E12.5 Macf1 , 1B E12.5 Macf1 high mag , 1B E12.5 merge The neuronal localization was shown by double immunostaining with a MAP2 antibody.

Specimen 1B E15.5: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Macf1; green - Map2 (assay MGI:7858922).
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: cortical plate cerebral cortex neuron Strong 1B E15.5 merged high mag , 1B E15.5 Macf1 high mag , 1B E15.5 merge , 1B E15.5 Macf1
TS23: cortical subplate cerebral cortex neuron Strong 1B E15.5 merge , 1B E15.5 Macf1
