Results
Specimen 6C Control: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: Triple labeled: red - Casp3; green - Eomes (assay MGI:7621559); turquoise - Pax6 (assay MGI:7621561).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: cerebral cortex Ambiguous 6C Control low mag , 6C Control high mag lower left , 6C Control high mag top left , 6C Control high mag middle left

Specimen 6C ESCO2cKO: embryonic day 12.5; Emx1tm1(cre)Krj/Emx1+, Esco2tm1.1Ge/Esco2tm1.1Ge (more )
Note: Conditional mutant. Triple labeled: red - Casp3; green - Eomes (assay MGI:7621559); turquoise - Pax6 (assay MGI:7621561).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: cerebral cortex Present Regionally restricted 6C ESCO2cKO low mag , 6C ESCO2cKO high mag middle right , 6C ESCO2cKO high mag top right , 6C ESCO2cKO high mag lower right The ESCO2cKO mutant cortex demonstrated increased apoptosis. It appeared milder in the lateral area of the cortex than in the medial or dorsal areas. The mutant lateral cortex apoptotic cells were mostly found in the basal side. Co-immunostaining indicated that increased apoptosis was mainly in intermediate progenitor cells (Eomes+) and and cells in transition stage between radial glia progenitor cells/intermediate progenitor cells (Eomes+/Pax6+). A lesser extent of apoptosis was seen in radial glia progenitor cells (Pax6+).

Specimen S2A: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Casp3; green - Eomes (assay MGI:7621559).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: cerebral cortex Present Single cells S2A high mag left , S2A high mag right , S2A low mag , S2A high mag middle A few Casp3+ apoptotic cells were noted. Closed arrows indicate cells that were Eomes+ intermediate progenitor cells. Open arrow indicates an Eomes-negative apoptotic cell.

Specimen S6C Control: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Casp3; green - Rbfox3 (assay MGI:7621644).
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: cerebral cortex cerebral cortex neuron Ambiguous S6C Control high mag
