Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: dorsal raphe nucleus Present Regionally restricted 4A''' , 4A' , 4A'' , 4A Co-labeling of wild type Bmp7 allele and mutant LacZ allele revealed subpopulations of brain cells that preferentially expression the mutant allele, the wild type allele, and biallelic cells that express both.
TS28: periaqueductal grey Present Regionally restricted 4A''' , 4A' , 4A'' , 4A Co-labeling of wild type Bmp7 allele and mutant LacZ allele revealed subpopulations of brain cells that preferentially expression the mutant allele, the wild type allele, and biallelic cells that express both.

Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: brain Present Regionally restricted 5A WT Dominant top , 5A Biallelic top , 5A LacZ Dominant top , 5A WT only top , 5A LacZ Only top Five general cell classes were observed, including biallelic cells, cells with a mutant or wild type allele bias, and monoallelic cells that only express the mutant or the wild type allele.

Specimen not shown: postnatal adult; Bmp7tm2Rob/Bmp7+ (more )
Note: Double labeled: blue - Bmp7 mRNA; red - Bmp7 reporter (assay MGI:8211146).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: arcuate nucleus Present Regionally restricted Positive cells in the dorsal raphe nucleus, arcuate nucleus, and cortex are predominantly monoallelic for either the wild type or mutant allele; a subpopulation of cells exhibit allele expression biases; and a smaller subpopulation exhibit biallelic expression.
TS28: cerebral cortex Present Regionally restricted Positive cells in the dorsal raphe nucleus, arcuate nucleus, and cortex are predominantly monoallelic for either the wild type or mutant allele; a subpopulation of cells exhibit allele expression biases; and a smaller subpopulation exhibit biallelic expression.
