Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Tuj1 (left) and CalB (right) staining showed the morphology of Purkinje cells in WT (top) and Galnt17−/− (bottom) animals. Galnt17−/− mutants lost thick primary branches (arrowheads), and the primary branches were bifurcated (arrows) compared to WT mice at P60. (B) Galnt17−/− mutants (bottom) showed fewer CalB (green) marked axons in axonal tract in lobule IV/V compared to WT mice (top) at P14. (C) Width of axonal tract was measured, and it showed mutants (dark gray) have narrower axonal tract than WT (light gray) in lobule IV/V at P14. n=3 for each genotype. t-Test, *p<0.05. (D) Galnt17−/− mutants (right) showed forelimb clasping (arrowhead) during tail suspension test compared to WT (left) mice in adult. n=5 animals for each genotype were scored for clasping (1) or no clasping (0) with all mutant animals scoring as 1 and all WT animals scoring as 0 in this test. Scale bar = 50 μm.
