Results
Specimen 3A: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: blue - Pax6; red - Otx2 (assay MGI:6304436).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: forebrain Present 3A Expression in the forebrain limits with the mid-forebrain border.

Specimen 3B: embryonic day 10.5; Shhtm2Amc/Shhtm2Amc, En1tm2(cre)Wrst/En1+ (more )
Note: Conditional mutant. Double labeled: blue - Pax6; red - Otx2 (assay MGI:6304436).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: forebrain Present 3B

Specimen 3C: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: blue - Pax6; red - Otx2 (assay MGI:6304436).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: forebrain Present 3C Expression in the forebrain limits with the mid-forebrain border.
TS20: midbrain lateral wall Present Regionally restricted 3C Expression was detected in a longitudinal band along the basal plate of the midbrain.

Specimen 3D: embryonic day 12.5; Shhtm2Amc/Shhtm2Amc, En1tm2(cre)Wrst/En1+ (more )
Note: Conditional mutant. Double labeled: blue - Pax6; red - Otx2 (assay MGI:6304436).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: forebrain Present 3D
TS20: midbrain lateral wall Absent 3D The longitudinal band along the basal plate of the midbrain was completely absent in the conditional mutant.

Specimen 7C: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Pax6; blue - Pou4f1 (assay MGI:6304479).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: diencephalon lateral wall Present 7C There was a sharp expression boundary at the alar diencephalon and the alar midbrain. A band of expression was noted in the pretectum.
TS20: midbrain lateral wall Present Regionally restricted 7C A Pax6-positive stripe was noted in the basal plate.

Specimen 7F: embryonic day 12.5; Shhtm2Amc/Shhtm2Amc, En1tm2(cre)Wrst/En1+ (more )
Note: Conditional mutant. Double labeled: red - Pax6; blue - Pou4f1 (assay MGI:6304479).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: diencephalon lateral wall Present 7F The diencephalic band of expression remained in the conditional mutant.
TS20: midbrain lateral wall Absent 7F
