Conditional Ift46F/F mice19 (link) and Wnt1-Cre2 mice were used in the experiments. Wnt1-Cre2;Ift46F/F (NC-Ift46F/F) mice were generated by crossing Ift46F/F mice with Wnt1-Cre2;Ift46F/+ mice. Wnt1-Cre2, KRT14-Cre, Gli1lacZ, CBF:H2B-Venus, and ROSAmTmG mice were purchased from Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME, USA). For cell fate mapping of NCCs, Wnt1-Cre2;Ift46F/+ mice were crossed with Ift46F/F carrying the cell membrane-targeted ROSAmTmG reporter. Gli1lacZand CBF:H2B-Venus reporters were used to assess Shh and Notch signal activities, respectively. For corneal epithelial fate mapping, KRT14-Cre;Ift46F/+;ROSA26 and KRT14-Cre;Ift46F/F;ROSA26 mice were generated by crossing KRT14-Cre;Ift46F/+ mice with Ift46F/F;ROSA26 mice. Genomic DNA from yolk sacs or tails by proteinase K treatment underwent PCR for DNA genotyping. Embryonic age was determined, with noon on the day of the vaginal plug designated as embryonic day 0.5 (E0.5). All experimental procedures complied with the ARVO Statement for the Use of Animals in Ophthalmic and Vision Research, and the experimental protocols used in this study were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Ewha Womans University.

Mouse strains Ift88tm1Bky, here referred to as Ift88fl/fl (Haycraft et al., 2007 (link)), Wnt1-Cre (Danielian et al., 1998 (link)), B6.129(Cg)-Gt(Rosa)26Sortm4(ACTB-tdTomato,-EGFP)Luo/J (R26mT/mG, Jackson Laboratories stock No 007676) (Muzumdar et al., 2007 (link)), and Gli1tm2Alj/J (Gli1-LacZ, Jackson Laboratories stock No 008211) (Bai et al., 2002 (link)) were maintained on mixed C57Bl/6, FVB and 129 genetic backgrounds. Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1(Sstr3/GFP)Bky mouse (here referred to as Sstr3::GFP mouse) (O'Connor et al., 2013 (link)) was maintained on a mixed CD1 background. Ift88 conditional knockout (cKO) were generated by crossing Wnt1-Cre;Ift88fl/+ males with Ift88fl/fl females. Since Wnt1-Cre;Ift88fl/fl mutants die at birth, all the studies were conducted during the embryonic development. Wnt1-Cre;Ift88fl/+ and Ift88fl/fl littermates were used as control. For time breeding, females were examined daily for vaginal plug. The day of the plug was considered embryonic day 0.5 (E0.5). All animal procedures were performed in accordance with the guidelines and approval of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, at Johns Hopkins University, and at the University of Pennsylvania.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
