Results
Specimen 2a': embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: cerebral cortex marginal layer Present 2a'
TS22: cerebral cortex ventricular layer Present 2a'

Specimen 2b'/b'': embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Efna2; green - Rbfox3 (assay MGI:8283271).
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: cerebral cortex subventricular zone Present 2b'' , 2b'
TS24: cerebral cortex ventricular layer Present 2b'' , 2b'
TS24: cortical plate cerebral cortex neuron Present 2b' , 2b'' Immunopositive cells in the cortical plate also expressed the neuronal marker Rbfox3 (NeuN).

Specimen 6a'/a'': embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Efna2; green - Gad1 (assay MGI:8283325) and Gad2 (assay MGI:8283390).
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: telencephalon interneuron Present Regionally restricted 6a'' , 6a''' , 6a' At E14.5, Gad1- & Gad2-immunopositive interneurons emerging from two transient telencephalic regions, the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) and the preoptic area (POA) also express Efna2. Efna2-immunopositive cells were organized in a continuous stream extending from the POA to dorsolateral telencephalon, correlating with the superficial migratory stream.

Specimen 6b'/b'': embryonic day 18.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Efna2; green - Gad1 (assay MGI:8283325) and Gad2 (assay MGI:8283390).
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: cerebral cortex marginal zone cortical interneuron Present Regionally restricted 6c' , 6b'' , 6c , 6b' Dense Gad1- & Gad2-stained interneurons in the marginal zone were double-labeled with Efna2-positive cells at E18.5.
TS26: cerebral cortex ventricular zone cortical interneuron Present Regionally restricted 6b' , 6b'' A dense population of Efna2-immunopositive cells was located in the ventricular zone.
TS26: cortical plate cortical interneuron Present Scattered 6b' , 6b''
