Figure 3. Comparison of EGFP expression between E15.5 I12b-Cre;Z/EG and URE2-Cre;Z/EG mice highlights similarities and differences in forebrain expression.

Figure 3

(A-A′, B-B′) Rostral to caudal coronal sections through E15.5 I12b-Cre;Z/EG (A-A′) and URE2-Cre;Z/EG (B-B′) were labeled by immunohistochemistry for EGFP. Note the reduced expression in specific ventral forebrain regions (asterisks) in URE2-Cre;Z/EG embryos.
