Reference: J:152827 Crossin KL, et al., Cytotactin and its proteoglycan ligand mark structural and functional boundaries in somatosensory cortex of the early postnatal mouse. Dev Biol. 1989 Dec;136(2):381-92
Assay type: Immunohistochemistry
MGI Accession ID: MGI:5484556
Gene symbol: Tnc
Gene name: tenascin C
Antibody: Anti-Cytotactin
Detection system: Secondary antibody coupled to fluorescein
Assay notes: The fixative was 2.5% paraformaldehyde. The tissue was flattened and cut using a freezing microtome.
Results
Specimen not shown: postnatal adult (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: brain blood vessel Present
TS28: brain meninges Present

Specimen 4A: postnatal day 7 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: barrel cortex Present Non-Uniform 4A Expression was detected in the barrel walls but was present at very low levels in the barrel hollows.

Specimen 5A: postnatal day 2.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: barrel cortex Present Non-Uniform 5A Expression was detected in the walls of the developing barrels. Diffuse staining was seen in the barrel hollows. The differential ratio of expression between the barrel walls and hollows appears to be less than at P7.

Specimen 5A': postnatal day 2.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: barrel cortex Present Non-Uniform 5A' Expression was detected in the walls of the developing barrels. Diffuse staining was seen in the barrel hollows. The differential ratio of expression between the barrel walls and hollows appears to be less than at P7.

Specimen 5C: postnatal day 12 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: barrel cortex Present Regionally restricted 5C Expression was detected in the barrel walls with very well defined boundaries but the overall amount appears to be diminishing.

Specimen 5C': postnatal day 12 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: barrel cortex Present Regionally restricted 5C' Expression was detected in the barrel walls with very well defined boundaries but the overall amount appears to be diminishing.

Specimen 6A: postnatal day 13 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: barrel cortex Weak 6A

Specimen not shown: postnatal day 15 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
