Assay
Reference: J:47699 Pabst O, et al., Nkx2-9 is a novel homeobox transcription factor which demarcates ventral domains in the developing mouse CNS. Mech Dev. 1998 Apr;73(1):85-93
Assay type: RNA in situ
MGI Accession ID: MGI:3029967
Gene symbol: Nkx2-9
Gene name: NK2 homeobox 9
Probe: Nkx2-9 cDNA2
Probe preparation: Antisense labelled with digoxigenin RNA
Assay notes: The authors state that several probes were used for the RNA in situ analysis which include these two smaller probes: Nkx2-9 cDNA3 (MGI:1270229), and Nkx2-9 cDNA4 (MGI:1270230). All probes gave similar results with some variations in signal intensities.
