Results
Specimen E7.5: embryonic day 7.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: embryo Absent Authors state that expression is never detected at E7.5.

Specimen E8.5: embryonic day 8.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: embryo Weak Regionally restricted 1A En-2 Some embryos show expression, generally weak, in a region apparently overlapping the wnt1-expressing domain. Most embryos show no expression.

Specimen E9.5: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: future hindbrain Present Graded 1B En-2 Expression encirclin neural tube in met-mesencephalic region, corresponding to presumptive cerebellum, isthmus and colliculi; highest expression at constriction and rostrally; decreases rostrally and caudally.
TS15: future midbrain Present Graded 1B En-2 Expression encirclin neural tube in met-mesencephalic region, corresponding to presumptive cerebellum, isthmus and colliculi; highest expression at constriction and rostrally; decreases rostrally and caudally.

Specimen E10.5: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: hindbrain Present Graded 2A En-2 Expression encirclin neural tube in met-mesencephalic region, corresponding to presumptive cerebellum, isthmus and colliculi; highest expression at constriction and rostrally; decreases rostrally and caudally.
TS17: midbrain Present Graded 2A En-2 Expression encirclin neural tube in met-mesencephalic region, corresponding to presumptive cerebellum, isthmus and colliculi; highest expression at constriction and rostrally; decreases rostrally and caudally.

Specimen E11.5: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: hindbrain Present Graded 2B En-2 Expression encirclin neural tube in met-mesencephalic region, corresponding to presumptive cerebellum, isthmus and colliculi; highest expression at constriction and rostrally; decreases rostrally and caudally.
TS20: midbrain Present Graded 2B En-2 Expression encirclin neural tube in met-mesencephalic region, corresponding to presumptive cerebellum, isthmus and colliculi; highest expression at constriction and rostrally; decreases rostrally and caudally.

Specimen E12.5: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: brain Present Regionally restricted Authors report "maximal En2 expression in the Wnt1-positive area."

Specimen E13.5: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: brain Present Regionally restricted 2C En-2 Authors report that En2 expression becomes more complex; in a more restricted domain of the germinal zone, plus some post-mitotic nuclei, notably in the isthmus and cerebellum.
