Assay
Reference: J:68840 Nakagawa Y, et al., Combinatorial expression patterns of LIM-homeodomain and other regulatory genes parcellate developing thalamus. J Neurosci. 2001 Apr 15;21(8):2711-25
Assay type: Immunohistochemistry
MGI Accession ID: MGI:7524728
Gene symbol: Isl1
Gene name: ISL1 transcription factor, LIM/homeodomain
Antibody: anti-C-Isl-1 protein (K5)
Assay notes: Antibody also recognizes Isl2, but authors state Isl2 was not expressed in areas studied, thus only Isl1 was detected.
