Figure 2

Differential expression of cadherins in central regions of the ferret retina during development. Expression of cadherin-14 (CDH14; A), cadherin-20 (CDH20; B), protocadherin-1 (PCDH1; C), protocadherin-7 (PCDH7; D), protocadherin-8 (PCDH11; E) and protocadherin-9 (PCDH9; F) was mapped with cRNA probes at embryonic day 23 (E23), E30, E38, postnatal day 2 (P2), P13, P25 and at the mature stage (P60). For neuroanatomical orientation, the different layers of the retina are indicated on the right side of each panel. Large arrows point at large ganglion cells (> 15 μm in largest diameter), whereas small arrows point at several cells of the ganglion cell layer (GCL) in A (CDH14). Large arrowheads point at negative inner layers of the neuroblast layer (NBL). Small arrowheads point at putative horizontal cells adjacent to the outer plexiform layer (OPL) or putative developing horizontal cells in the NBL, respectively. The outer nuclear layer (ONL) is shown up to the outer limiting membrane and does not include the outer photoreceptor segments after P13. The pigment epithelium next to the NBL is indicated by an asterisk. Areas boxed in C and F are shown at a higher magnification in Figure 4B and G, respectively. Other abbreviations: INL, inner nuclear layer; IPL, inner plexiform layer. Scale bar in F, 50 μm, applies to all panels.
