Assay type: RNA in situ

Gene symbol: Dlx2
Gene name: distal-less homeobox 2
Probe: Dlx2 probe
Probe preparation: Antisense RNA
Visualized with: Alkaline phosphatase
Results
Specimen 2A: embryonic day 11.0-11.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: blue - Dlx2; brown - Shh (assay MGI:7539094).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: telencephalon Present Regionally restricted 2A Expression is in the septum, lateral and medial ganglionic eminences, and the preoptic area.
TS19: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 2A Expression is in a ventral longitudinal domain that extends from the zona limitans to the postoptic area to either side of the midline. This domain largely corresponds to the trajectory of the retinal axons that pioneer the optic chiasm.

Specimen 2B: embryonic day 11.0-11.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: blue - Dlx2; brown - Shh (assay MGI:7539094).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: telencephalon Present Regionally restricted 2B Expression is in the septum, lateral and medial ganglionic eminences, and the preoptic area.
TS19: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 2B Expression is in a ventral longitudinal domain that extends from the zona limitans to the postoptic area to either side of the midline. This domain largely corresponds to the trajectory of the retinal axons that pioneer the optic chiasm.

Specimen 2C: embryonic day 11.0-11.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: blue - Dlx2; brown - Shh (assay MGI:7539094).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 2C Expression is in the subventricular zone within the hypothalamus and in both the ventricular zone and subventricular zone in the lamina terminalis and preoptic area.
