Neural patterning in Ift144twt Ift122sopb double mutants resembles that in Ift144dmhd. (A) Based on expression of HB9-GFP, Ift144twt Ift122sopb double-mutant embryos lack motor neurons in the anterior spinal cord (arrow) but retain them in caudal regions. The double mutants are exencephalic and have laterality defects, similar to Ift144dmhd. WT, wild type. (B) Cross-sections through Ift144twt, Ift122sopb, and Ift144twt Ift122sopb double-mutant embryos at E10.5, marked by the expression of HB9-GFP and FoxA2. Ift144twt/Ift122sopb double mutants lack FoxA2+ floor plate cells at all levels, lack cervical motor neurons, and show dorsally expanded motor neurons at lumbar levels, like Ift144dmhd. Bars: (A) 1 mm; (B) 200 µm.
