Ephrin-A5 expression in the developing auditory brainstem. a At E17 MNTB shows diffuse expression of ephrin-A5. b Low expression levels are seen in VCN at E17. c At P0 ephrin-A5 is expressed in MNTB. d VCN expression has slightly increased at P0. e At P4 ephrin-A5 surrounds cell bodies in MNTB (inset) and expression levels have increased. f Expression is seen throughout VCN with a diffuse pattern (inset). g By P12 immunolabeling shows little expression in MNTB. h VCN shows low expression levels at P12. Scale bar in G, 200 μm, applies to A, C, E, G. Scale bar in H, 200 μm, applies to B, D, F, H. Scale bar in insets, 20 μm
