Fig. 6. Failure of an NSE-Psen1 transgene to rescue the brain pathology in
Psen1/ mice. Shown are Cresyl Violet-stained
horizontal sections of E18.5 embryos that are wild type (A,D,G),
Psen1/ (B,E,H) or have the NSE-Psen1
transgene on Psen1/ background (C,F,I).
(D-I) Higher power views of the lateral cerebral wall. The embryo with the
NSE-Psen1 transgene on the Psen1/ background
exhibits multiple areas of hemorrhage (one indicated by arrow), as well as
disrupted cortical lamination in a pattern that is indistinguishable from that
of the Psen1/ embryo. Cortical layers (MZ,
CP, SP, IZ) are indicated as in Fig.
5. Scale bar: 500 µm in A-C; 100 µm in D-F; 50 µm in
G-I.
