Figure S2. Expression of foxj1 in the infundibular wall correlates with emergence of MCCs. In situ hybridization and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) on explanted brains at stage 53. (A) Right and left hemisphere of brain sectioned sagittally along the midline. The infundibulum is framed by a dashed line. (B) Transversal section, as indicated in (A) reveals expression of foxj1 in the zona limitans intrathalamica (ZLI) and the neurohypophysis (nHy) but not in the adenohypophysis (aHy). (C) SEM picture of brain dissected sagittally. (C') Close-up view onto the infundibular wall with elongated cilia (arrowheads) and one MCC (outlined arrowhead). d = dorsal; di = diencephalon; mes = mesencephalon; rhomb = rhombencephalon; tel = telencephalon; v = ventral.
