Reference: J:46971 Loomis CA, et al., Analysis of the genetic pathway leading to formation of ectopic apical ectodermal ridges in mouse Engrailed-1 mutant limbs. Development. 1998 Mar;125(6):1137-48
Assay type: RNA in situ
MGI Accession ID: MGI:1339620
Gene symbol: Dlx2
Gene name: distal-less homeobox 2
Probe: Dlx2 probe
Probe preparation: Antisense labelled with digoxigenin RNA
Visualized with: Alkaline phosphatase
Assay notes: All the specimens were discussed in the paper as in limb bud stages. Some assay results are only annotated to forelimb buds, but they could also be annotated to the same limb bud stage hindlimbs of a later embryonic date.
Results
Specimen 1E: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Note: Limb-bud stage (stage 1).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: forelimb bud ectoderm Present Regionally restricted 1E Expression is in the distal half of the ventral limb bud.

Specimen 2C: embryonic day 9.5-10.5 (more )
Note: Limb-bud stage (stage 1/2).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS16: limb ectoderm Present Regionally restricted 2C Restricted proximoventral expression.

Specimen 2D: embryonic day 9.5-10.5; En1tm1Alj/En1tm1Alj (more )
Note: Limb-bud stage (stage 1/2).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS16: limb ectoderm Present Regionally restricted 2D In mutants, the expression domain is broader than in wild-type limbs, a marked expansion of the ventroproximal expression domain.

Specimen 2G: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Note: Limb-bud stage (stage 3/4).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: forelimb bud apical ectodermal ridge Present Regionally restricted 2G Expression slightly shifted distally. Expression is slightly broader anteriorly than posteriorly.

Specimen 3A: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Note: Limb-bud stage (stage 5/6).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: apical ectodermal ridge Present Regionally restricted 3A One narrow ridge.

Specimen 3B: embryonic day 11.5; En1tm2Alj/En1tm2Alj (more )
Note: Limb-bud stage (stage 5/6).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: apical ectodermal ridge Present Regionally restricted 3B Broader expression in mutants. There are two distinct rims of stained ectoderm separated by a less intense stained region of epithelium. Expression is wider anteriorly than posteriorly.

Specimen Not shown: embryonic day 9.0 (more )
Note: Limb-bud stage (stage 0.25-0.5).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS14: forelimb bud ectoderm Present Regionally restricted Expression is throughout the ventral ectoderm.

Specimen Not shown: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Note: Limb-bud stage (stage 3).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: apical ectodermal ridge Present Regionally restricted Expression is along the dorsal-ventral interface.

Specimen Not shown: embryonic day 10.5; En1tm1Alj/En1tm1Alj (more )
Note: Limb-bud stage (stage 3/4).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: forelimb bud apical ectodermal ridge Present Regionally restricted In mutants, there is a marked expansion of the ventroproximal expression domain.
