Results
Specimen 3L: postnatal day 14 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Opalin; magenta - Calb1 (assay MGI:4837122).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: cerebellum white matter Present 3L Expression is densely localized within the white matter.
Specimen 3M: postnatal day 14 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Opalin; magenta - Calb1 (assay MGI:4837122).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: cerebellum granule cell layer Present Regionally restricted 3M Expression is present in the soma and process of oligodendrocytes.
Specimen 3N: postnatal day 14 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Opalin; magenta - Calb1 (assay MGI:4837122).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: cerebellum granule cell layer Present Regionally restricted 3N Expression is localized in myelinating axons in a spiral fashion.
Specimen 6B-left: postnatal week 8 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Opalin; red - Nefm (assay MGI:4837134).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 6B left upper , 6B left lower Expression is present in myelin-wrapped axons in a spiral-like fashion. It is more concentrated around regions flanking the node.

Note: Double labeled: green - Opalin; red - Mag (assay MGI:4837135).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 6B right upper , 6B right lower Expression is present in myelin-wrapped axons in a spiral-like fashion. It is more concentrated around regions flanking the node.
Specimen 6C-left: postnatal week 8 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 6C left lower , 6C left upper Expression is present in myelin-wrapped axons in a spiral-like fashion. It is more concentrated around regions flanking the node.
Specimen 6C-right: postnatal week 8 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Opalin; red - Cntnap1 (assay MGI:4837136).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 6C right upper , 6C right lower Expression is present in myelin-wrapped axons in a spiral-like fashion. It is more concentrated around regions flanking the node.
