Figure 2. Vsx2-5.3-PRE-Cre is specifically localized to Vsx2-expressing neurons of the inner nuclear layer in the mature retina.

Figure 2

(A–C) The vast majority of Vsx2-labeled nuclei (A) in the inner nuclear layer (boundaries indicated by broken lines) co-label for Cre (B). Arrowheads in (C) indicate Vsx2-positive/Cre-negative nuclei outlined in (B). (D–F) Sox9-positive Müller glial nuclei (D) do not express Cre. Arrowheads (F) show examples of Cre-negative/Sox9-positive nuclei outlined in (E). (G–I) Horizontal cells labelled with Calbindin-D28k (G) do not label for Cre (H). Sections are from >6 week old mice. Scale bar  = 10 µm.
