No differences in the number of developing striatal projection neurons or striatal interneurons between Robo1+/− and Robo1−/− embryos. (A,B) Coronal sections from Robo1+/− and Robo1−/− mice at E15.5 and at E18.5 (D,E) were immunostained for FOXP2. (C,F) Counts of FOXP2+ cells showed no differences throughout the rostral-caudal extent of the developing striatum of Robo1−/− and Robo1+/− littermates at E15.5 (C) and E18.5 (F). (G,H) Coronal brain sections taken from Robo1+/− and Robo1−/− mice at E15.5 and processed by in situ hybridization for Nkx2.1. (J,K) Similar sections were processed by in situ hybridization for Lhx8. (I,L) Counts of labeled cells showed no differences for either gene between the two groups of animals. Scale bar: 100 μm (A,B,D,E), 120 μm (G,H,J,K). Abbreviation: Str, striatum.
