From: Pax7 is requisite for maintenance of a subpopulation of superior collicular neurons and shows a diverging expression pattern to Pax3 during superior collicular development

Figure 2

Quantification of Pax7 expression in the superior colliculus of wildtype and Pax7+/- mice. (a) Pax7+ cells in the superior colliculus of wildtype and Pax7 mutant mice at E15.5, P5 and P18.5 (n = 3–5). (b-c) Map of Pax7+ cell distribution in the superior colliculus of wildtype (b) and Pax7+/- mutant mice (c) at P5 showing reduced Pax7+ cells in the superficial strata of Pax7+/- mice. The cone at position 1 represents positive control for relative calibration. (d-e) Mean (+/-SEM) Pax7+ cellular distribution across rostrocaudal (d) and dorsoventral (e) axes. (f-g) Mean (+/-SEM) Pax7 protein levels across rostrocaudal (f) and dorsoventral (g) axes (n = 4 each).
