Reference: J:11525 Monaghan AP, et al., The Msh-like homeobox genes define domains in the developing vertebrate eye. Development. 1991 Aug;112(4):1053-61
Assay type: RNA in situ
MGI Accession ID: MGI:2135584
Gene symbol: Msx1
Gene name: msh homeobox 1
Probe: Probe 1
Probe preparation: Antisense labelled with S35 RNA
Visualized with: Autoradiography
Assay notes: Authors did not state which of these two probes were used, this probe or a shorter probe (probe 2: MGI:1275945) or both. Probes were shortened to approximately a 100 bases by alkaline hydrolysis.
Results
Specimen 4A: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: head mesenchyme derived from neural crest Present Regionally restricted 4A Expression in the neural crest derived mesenchyme surrounding the vesicle.
TS15: surface ectoderm Present Regionally restricted 4A Expression in the surface epithelium anterior to the vesicle (nasal side of the eye) and is absent in surface ectoderm adjacent to the optic vesicle.
TS15: olfactory placode Present Regionally restricted 4A Expression in the lateral part of the nasal placode.
TS15: optic vesicle Absent 4A

Specimen 4C: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: lens vesicle Absent 4C No expression in the optic cup or lens.
TS19: retina Absent 4C No expression in the optic cup or lens.
TS19: head mesenchyme derived from neural crest Weak Regionally restricted 4C Weak expression in the mesenchyme between the surface epithelium and the lens.

Specimen 4E: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: retina Present Regionally restricted 4E Expression near the tip of the optic cup in the inner layer, to the prospective region of the ciliary body. No expression at the tip or prospective iris tissue or in the prospective neural retina.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: retina Present Regionally restricted Transcripts were localized to a region that will give rise to the ciliary body.

Specimen 5A, 5B: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: retina Present Regionally restricted 5A , 5B Expression is confined to the prospective ciliary body region as an assymmetrical band just below the tip of the optic cup.

Specimen 5C: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: retina Present Regionally restricted 5C Expression is showing an assymetrical pattern within the prospective ciliary body region just below the tip of the optic cup. Expression is at maximum strength at this stage.

Specimen 5D, 5E: embryonic day 19.5 (more )
Note: Fig. 5E is a higher magnification image of Fig. 5D.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: ciliary body Weak Regionally restricted 5E , 5D Expression in a diffuse band in the ciliary body.
TS26: iris Absent 5D , 5E No expression in the developing retina or iris.
TS26: retina Absent 5D , 5E No expression in the developing retina or iris.
