Expression patterns of epibranchial ganglia-specific markers. A-F) Wholemount in situ hybridization of epibranchial ganglia-specific markers at HH21. A’-F”’) Transverse sections at the level of the Tmm ganglion (A’-F’), VA ganglion (A”-F”) and P ganglion (A”’-F”’) stained with the named marker at HH21, showing P-specific expression. A-A”’) PHOX2B; B-B”’) PROX2; C-C”’) SHOX; D-D”’) CTXN1; E-E”’) PDZRN4; F-F”’) SULT4A1. Levels of staining in the epibranchial ganglia vary, but are stronger when compared with other ganglia. Staining can be seen in the NT although specific localisation and level varies. The dark staining in the eye and OV in A, B, D and F was not observed on sections and likely represents background. Abbreviations: G: geniculate ganglion; N: nodose ganglion; NT: neural tube; OV: otic vesicle; P: petrosal ganglion; Tmm: trigeminal maxillomandibular lobe; VA: vestibulo-acoustic ganglion. Scalebars: A-F: 500 μm; A’-F”’: 150 μm
