Assay
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:2135585
Gene symbol: Msx2
Gene name: msh homeobox 2
Probe: pHOX8
Probe preparation: Antisense labelled with S35 RNA
Visualized with: Autoradiography
Assay notes: Probe was shortened to approximately 100 bases by alkaline hydrolysis.
Results
Specimen 4B: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: optic vesicle Present Regionally restricted 4B Expression in the neural ectoderm of the optic vesicle in a region adjacent to the surface ectoderm.
TS15: olfactory placode Present Regionally restricted 4B Expression in the lateral part of the nasal placode.
TS15: optic cup inner layer Present 4B
TS15: surface ectoderm Present Regionally restricted 4B Expression in the surface ectoderm near the eye. The expression domain was slightly larger than the optic vesicle.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: eye surface ectoderm Present
TS17: lens pit Present
TS17: optic cup inner layer Present

Specimen 4D: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: lens vesicle Present 4D
TS19: cornea epithelium Present 4D
TS19: retina Present Regionally restricted 4D Expression in the optic cup in the region to become the neural retina. Transcripts were not distributed uniformly throughout the inner layer of the optic cup, they were absent from the apical portion in the presumptive iris/ciliary body region.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: lens vesicle Absent
TS20: neural retinal epithelium Absent
TS20: cornea epithelium Present Expression in the surface ectoderm of the eye.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: cornea epithelium Absent
