Results
Specimen 1a: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: cerebellum ventricular layer Present 1a , 1aa The regions of expression correlates with cell proliferation (Mki67+).
TS22: rhombic lip Present 1a , 1aa The regions of expression correlates with cell proliferation (Mki67+).
TS22: cerebellum gray matter Present Regionally restricted 1aa , 1a Expressed in a subset of cells in the nascent external granule layer. The regions of expression correlates with cell proliferation (Mki67+).

Specimen 1B: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: cerebellum gray matter Present Regionally restricted 1B Expressed in a few cells in the nascent external granule layer. Expression was less intense than compared to its expression at later embryonic stages.

Specimen 1C: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: cerebellum ventricular layer Present 1C Expressed in the nuclei, higher than its expression in the external granule layer.
TS22: rhombic lip Present 1C Expressed in the nuclei, higher than its expression in the external granule layer.

Specimen 1E: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: cerebellum external granule cell layer Present 1e , 1E More intense and extensive compared to E14.5. Expressed in majority of cells and highest in cells nearest to the rhombic lip. The regions of expression correlates with cell proliferation (Mki67+).
TS24: rhombic lip Present 1E , 1e The regions of expression correlates with cell proliferation (Mki67+).

Specimen 1F: embryonic day 16.5 (more )

Specimen 2A: postnatal day 1 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: cerebellum external granule cell layer Present Widespread 2A Expressed in all lobes. The regions of expression correlates with cell proliferation (Mki67+).
TS27: cerebellar cortex Present Regionally restricted 2A Widely present in all regions of the external granule cell layer, but relatively little expression in the cerebellum outside of the external granule cell layer.

Specimen 2C/E/F/H: postnatal day 6 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Atf5; red - Mki67 (assay MGI:6416344).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: cerebellum external granule cell layer Strong 2F , 2H , 2C , 2E Nuclear expression in the majority of the cells. Majority positive cells were also Mki67+.
TS28: cerebellar cortex Strong Regionally restricted 2E , 2C Strong expression in the external granule cell layer, and in widely dispersed cells outside of the external granule cell layer.

Specimen 3A/C/D/F: postnatal day 9 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Atf5; red - Mki67 (assay MGI:6416344).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: cerebellum external granule cell layer Present Regionally restricted 3A , 3C , 3D , 3F Specifically in the outer external granule layer, where the proliferating cerebellar granule neuron progenitor cells are found.
TS28: cerebellar cortex Present Regionally restricted 3A , 3C Expression in the external granule layer is lower than at P6 and very few proliferating cells are found outside of external granule layer.

Specimen 3H: postnatal day 15 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: cerebellum external granule cell layer Present 3H Decreased expression and only in a relatively few proliferating cells. Little or no expression outside of the external granule cell layer.

Specimen S1A/C: postnatal day 6 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Atf5; red - Tubb3 (assay MGI:6416346).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: cerebellum external granule cell layer Strong S1C , S1A Highly expressed in cerebellar granule neuron progenitor cells.
TS28: cerebellar cortex Strong Regionally restricted S1A , S1C Highly expressed in the external granule cell layer. No co-staining with Tubb3.
