Fig. 7. Loss of Foxg1 from retina or chiasm has no significant effect on
outgrowth of ventrotemporal retinal axons on chiasm cells in culture.
(A-D) Co-cultures of Foxg1+/± or
Foxg1-/- ventrotemporal (VT) retinal explants with
dissociated Foxg1+/± or
Foxg1-/- chiasm cells; immunohistochemistry and
counterstaining are as in Fig.
6. (A'-D') Brn3a expression in
co-cultures A-D, respectively. (E,F) Mean percentage of axon
coverage (±s.e.m.) 45 µm from the retinal explant (E) and mean
lengths of the five longest neurites (±s.e.m.) (F). One-way ANOVA
revealed no significant differences in outgrowth among retinal explants. (E,F)
Numbers of explants are in parentheses. Scale bars: 100 µm in A-D; 10 µm
in A'-D'.
