Figure 3

EphrinA5 protein expression in E14.5 embryonic mouse brain. EphrinA5 protein distribution is represented on coronal sections in a rostro-caudal sequence (panels a to m) and on sagittal sections in a latero-medial sequence (panels n to q). EphrinA5 protein was differentially expressed within brain regions. EphrinA5 was strongly expressed in the telencephalon (panels b, c, d, f, n) in the diencephalon (panels d, i, n) in the mesencephalon (panels g, j, k, o) and in the metencephalon (panels l and p) excepted in the olfactory bulb (panel a), the subventricular zone (panel e), the hypothalamus (panel q) and the isthmus differentiating zone (panel l) where expression was moderate. Arrowheads in panels c and g indicate ephrinA5 expression gradients respectively in the lateral ganglionic eminence and in the pretectum, in a lateral and ventral (high) to medial and dorsal (low) direction. The inferior colliculus exhibited a lateral (high) to medial (low) gradient (arrowhead in panel k). Arrowheads in panel n show ventral and rostral (high) to dorsal and caudal (low) gradients in the lateral ganglionic eminence and the ventral thalamus. Scale bar: panels a, b, i, j, k, q: 150 μm; panel c: 300 μm; panel d: 400 μm; panels e, h, m: 75 μm; panels f, g, l, p: 200 μm; panel n: 350 μm; panel o: 250 μm. Abbreviations: see list.
