Figure 2. Developmental changes of GFP patterns in GFP-Dstncorn1 corneas and normal CAG-EGFP corneas. Flat whole mount corneas were prepared from respective mice of indicated ages. Cuts were made to mount the cornea flat. GFP patterns were imaged and digitally recorded. Only the cornea area is shown. Radial GFP stripes appeared in normal CAG-EGFP corneas around four weeks and remained in all corneas of all ages we observed (see also [10]). GFP stripes were detected in young GFP-Dstncorn1 mice at three to six weeks, but there were none in adult corneas, which instead showed globular and diffuse GFP patterns. Bar: 1 mm.
