Table 2. Summary of immunocytochemical (ICC) and RT-PCR data

At Fwk 9-10, ICC detected the expression of IRBP and TULP, while the corresponding PCR results were negative. Actin, Crx, and PDEB were detected at Fwk 10 by RT-PCR. By Fwk 12, ICC demonstrated labeling for Nrl and S opsin. RT-PCR at Fwk 12 detected TULP, IRBP, Nrl, and Crx, but not S opsin. The ICC and PCR data were consistent after Fwk 14 when all molecules investigated were expressed at high levels. In the table, "N/A" indicates not tested, "+" indicates expression was detected, and "-" indicates expression was not detected.
