Fig. 3. E11.5 (A,A'), E12.5 (B-C'), E15.5 (D,D') and E18.5
(E-F') coronal (A-D') and saggital (E-F') sections of
wild-type (A-F) and Id4-/- (A'-F')
telencephalon are compared. Immunofluorescence was detected using the
antibodies listed above each panel (A,A',D-E') and in situ
hybridization was performed using the S-35-labeled riboprobes listed above
each panel (B-C',F,F'). A pan-neuronal marker, MAP2 (A,A'),
shows reproducibly increased expression in the mutant dorsomedial cortex
(arrowhead). Markers of differentiating neurons, NeuroD (C,C')
and Tbr2 (see Fig.
2D,D'), also show increased expression in the dorsomedial
mantle (arrowheads in C,C'). TBR1 expression marks differentiating
cortical neurons that will form deep cortical layers (D-E'). Arrowheads
in F,F' indicate disorganized cortical layers and areas. hp,
hippocampus; ctx, neocortex; LV, lateral ventricle; VP, ventral pallium; st,
striatum.
