Fig. 6. Brn3a expression is normalized towards wild-type levels in Brn3a
heterozygotes. Brn3a mRNA levels were assayed in E13.5 embryonic tissues by
RT-PCR; the mean ±s.d. of triplicate assays are shown. (A) Brn3a
expression in the intact E13.5 head, including Brn3a neurons in the midbrain,
hindbrain and cranial sensory ganglia. (B) Brn3a expression in isolated
trigeminal ganglia. (C) The location of tissue samples dissected from the
E13.5 midbrain tectum, in which Brn3a expressing neurons are labeled by
immunohistochemistry (green). aq, aqueduct; pml, post-mitotic layer; ne,
neuroepithelium; tec, tectum; teg, tegmentum. (D) Brn3a expression in the
isolated E13.5 tectum.
