Expression of ephrin-A5 and EphA2 during ocular development. A–C, Ephrin-A5 expression at E12 (A), E14 (B), and E17 (C) is observed in the lens epithelium, lens fiber layer around the bow region, cornea, and the retina. Expression within the retinal region is graded with higher expression towards the nasal retina. Ephrin-A5 levels within the developing eye are reduced at later stages. D–F, EphA2 expression at E12 (D), E14 (E), and E17 (F) is observed in the lens epithelium, fiber cell layers, and parts of the retina during ocular development (data unpublished). Within the lens, EphA2 is observed in several of the same regions as ephrin-A5 has been found to be expressed (data unpublished). LE, lens epithelium; LF, lens fiber cells layer; Re, retina; Co, cornea; N, nasal retina; T, temporal retina.
