Figure Lengend Snippet: In situ hybridization on coronal mouse brain sections at E16.5 (A–C′) and P5 (L–N′). Panels A′–C′ and L′–N′ show higher magnifications of boxed areas in A–C and L–N, respectively. Immunohistochemistry (D–F, H–J) and RGMa-AP section binding (G, K) on E16.5 coronal mouse brain sections. Sections in D–F and H–J are counterstained in blue with fluorescent Nissl. (A–C′) In situ hybridization shows differential expression patterns of RGMa , RGMb and Neogenin in the olfactory bulb and olfactory epithelium (OE). In line with this, immunohistochemistry reveals that axons of olfactory sensory neurons in the OE stain strongly for RGMb and weakly for RGMa and Neogenin. Furthermore, RGMa, RGMb and Neogenin are expressed on olfactory bulb axon projections such as the lateral olfactory tract (LOT). a, apical; ACa, anterior commissure pars anterior; AOB, accessory olfactory bulb; b, basal; CP, cortical plate; CRP, cribriform plate; EPL, external plexiform layer; GL, glomerular layer; GR, granule cell layer; IPL, internal plexiform layer; IZ, intermediate zone; LV, lateral ventricle; MCL, mitral cell layer; ONL, olfactory nerve layer; OVZ, olfactory ventricular zone; S, septum; STR, striatum; VN, vomeronasal nerve. Scale bar A–C 200 µm, A′–C′ 100 µm, D–F 300 µm, G 500 µm, H–J 400 µm, K 500 µm, L–N 400 µm and L′–N′ 200 µm.
Article Snippet: In brief, sections were washed in PBS (pH 7.4) and incubated in normal blocking buffer (PBS, 4% BSA and 0.1% Triton) for 1 hr at RT and incubated with goat anti-RGMa antibody (AF2458; R&D systems) 1∶200, sheep anti-RGMb antibody (AF3597; R&D systems) 1∶200 or goat anti-Neogenin antibody (AF1079; R&D systems) 1∶200 overnight in normal blocking buffer at 4°C.
