Results
Specimen 2D: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: vibratome section
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: retina retinal ganglion cell Present Regionally restricted 2D Expressed in the dorsocentral region, where the first retinal ganglion cells to be born.

Specimen 2I: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Note: vibratome section
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: retina retinal ganglion cell Present Regionally restricted 2I Expressed throughout retinal ganglion cell layer. Expressed by most cells in the layer in a high ventral, low dorsal gradient.

Specimen 2N: embryonic day 17.5 (more )
Note: vibratome section
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: retina layer retinal ganglion cell Weak Regionally restricted 2N Very weakly expressed at the retinal ganglion cell layer.

Specimen 3M: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: vibratome section
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 3M Expressed around the junction of the optic nerve and the brain, with strongest expression dorsal to the site at which the optic stalk joins the diencephalon.

Specimen 3N: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: vibratome section
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 3N Expressed around the junction of the optic nerve and the brain, with strongest expression dorsal to the site at which the optic stalk joins the diencephalon.

Specimen 3O: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: vibratome section
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 3O Expressed around the junction of the optic nerve and the brain, with strongest expression dorsal to the site at which the optic stalk joins the diencephalon. In the more dorsal region, expression was some distance posterior to the axons. Also weakly expressed in a subset of the CD44/SSEA(Fut4) neurons.

Specimen 3P: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: vibratome section
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 3P Expressed around the junction of the optic nerve and the brain, with strongest expression dorsal to the site at which the optic stalk joins the diencephalon. More ventrally, expressed in a region directly adjacent to the path taken by the axons. Also weakly expressed in a subset of the CD44/SSEA(Fut4) neurons.

Specimen 4M: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
