Reference: J:43464 Matise MP, et al., Expression patterns of developmental control genes in normal and Engrailed-1 mutant mouse spinal cord reveal early diversity in developing interneurons. J Neurosci. 1997 Oct 15;17(20):7805-16
Assay type: Immunohistochemistry
MGI Accession ID: MGI:5467552
Gene symbol: Pax2
Gene name: paired box 2
Antibody: Anti-Pax2
Detection system: Secondary antibody coupled to Cy3
Results
Specimen 6a & 6b: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Pax2; green - Tubb3 (assay MGI:5467547)
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: future spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 6a , 6b Expression was detected in differentiating neurons at the lateral margins of the ventricular zone in two domains; dorsal to the ventral horn in the ventral spinal cord and extending up to the sulcus limitans, and in the developing dorsal horn.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: future spinal cord Present Regionally restricted Expression was detected in the intermediate region of the spinal cord.

Specimen 7b & 7c: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Pax2; green - Lhx1 (assay MGI:5467550) and Lhx5 (assay MGI:5467551)
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: future spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 7c , 7b In midthoracic spinal cord, expression in the ventral intermediate region overlaps with Lim1/2.

Specimen 7e & 7f: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Pax2; green - Lhx1 (assay MGI:5467550) and Lhx5 (assay MGI:5467551)
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: future spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 7e , 7f Expression was detected in dorsal and ventral domains and overlaps with Lim1/2. Staining in the ventral intermediate region is ventral to the sulcus limitans.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Note: Also stained for Lhx1 (assay MGI:5467550) and Lhx5 (assay MGI:5467551)
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: future spinal cord Present Regionally restricted Expression in the ventral horn showed less overlap with Lim1/2 at E11.5. However, many cells in the intermediate region continue co-expression. There is only partial overlap of expression with Lim1/2 in the dorsal horn.
