Fig. 5. Ventral neural precursor patterning defects in Disp1 hypomorphic
mutants. Motoneuron precursors (MNR+ cell) occupy the ventral
midline in Disp1
2/C829F (I) and
Disp1
2/C829F, Shh+/
mutants (M), instead of its normal lateral position in wild type (A). V2
(Chox10+) and V1 (En1+) interneurons are present in
comparable numbers in Disp1 mutants as the wild type (B,F,J,N). V0
(Evx1/2+) precursors expand ventrally in Disp1 mutants
(C,G,K,O). Lim1/2-positive cells, which demarcate the p5, V0 and V1 precursor
populations also expand ventrally in Disp1 mutants (D,H,L,P).
