Results
Specimen 6A: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: forelimb bud Absent 6A
TS19: hindlimb bud Absent 6A

Specimen 6B: embryonic day 11.5; Dbf/Dbf+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: forelimb bud Present Regionally restricted 6B Ihh expression was detected in the distal limb bud and tail bud. However, at the posterior margin where Shh was normally expressed, no Ihh expression was detected.
TS19: hindlimb bud Present Regionally restricted 6B Ihh expression was detected in the distal limb bud and tail bud. However, at the posterior margin where Shh was normally expressed, no Ihh expression was detected.
TS19: tail Present Regionally restricted 6B Ihh expression was detected in the distal limb bud and tail bud. However, at the posterior margin where Shh was normally expressed, no Ihh expression was detected.
TS19: branchial arch Present 6B

Specimen 6C: embryonic day 12.5; Dbf/Dbf+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: forelimb Strong Regionally restricted 6C Ihh expression is down-regulated in the apical region whereas its expression in the anterior limb bud remained strong.
TS20: hindlimb Strong Regionally restricted 6C Ihh expression is down-regulated in the apical region whereas its expression in the anterior limb bud remained strong.

Specimen 6D/E: embryonic day 11.5; Dbf/Dbf+ (more )
Note: Limb was embedded in 2% agarose.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: forelimb bud Present Regionally restricted 6D , 6E Ectopic Ihh expression in the distal limb bud was quite superficial and was absent in the 'core' mesenchyme.
TS19: hindlimb bud Present Regionally restricted 6D , 6E Ectopic Ihh expression in the distal limb bud was quite superficial and was absent in the 'core' mesenchyme.
TS19: footplate apical ectodermal ridge Absent 6E Ectopic Ihh expression was not detected in the distal ectoderm and the AER.
TS19: handplate apical ectodermal ridge Absent 6E Ectopic Ihh expression was not detected in the distal ectoderm and the AER.
