Results
Specimen not shown: embryonic day 12.5; Etn2Sd/Etn2+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: spinal cord Present In rostral sections of E12 embryos, where the floor plate was present, expression in the heterozygote was the same as in wild-type embryos. Aberrant expression was evident in caudal sections of heterozygous embryos where the floor plate was absent.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 12.5; Etn2Sd/Etn2Sd (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: spinal cord Present Regionally restricted In rostral sections of E12 embryos, where the floor plate was present, expression in the mutant was the same as in wild-type embryos.

Specimen 1A: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 1A Expression was detected in the dorsal three-fourths of the intermediate zone but was undetectable in the more ventral half of the basal plate of the lumbar spinal cord.

Specimen 1C: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: alar columns Present Regionally restricted 1C Expression was detected in the ventral half of the alar plate in the caudal spinal cord. The expression pattern was reiterated along the entire anterior-posterior axis.
TS20: basal columns Present Regionally restricted 1C Expression was detected in the dorsal half but was absent in the ventral half of the basal plate in the caudal spinal cord. The expression pattern was reiterated along the entire anterior-posterior axis.
TS20: spinal cord sulcus limitans Absent 1C There was a clear separation at the presumptive sulcus limitans in the caudal spinal cord. The expression pattern was reiterated along the entire anterior-posterior axis.
TS20: spinal cord floor plate Absent 1C The expression pattern was described in the caudal spinal cord but was reiterated along the entire anterior-posterior axis.
TS20: spinal cord roof plate Absent 1C The expression pattern was described in the caudal spinal cord but was reiterated along the entire anterior-posterior axis.

Specimen 1E: embryonic day 12.5; Etn2Sd/Etn2Sd (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: spinal cord Present 1E Expression pattern varied depending on distance from the floor plate. Expression domains extended progressively more ventrally until a continuous band of expressing cells extended around the ventral midline.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 13.5; Etn2Sd/Etn2+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: spinal cord Present In rostral sections, at levels where the floor plate was present, expression in the heterozygote was the same as in wild-type embryos.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 13.5; Etn2Sd/Etn2Sd (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: spinal cord Present In rostral sections, at levels where the floor plate was present, expression in the mutant was the same as in wild-type embryos.

Specimen 2A: embryonic day 13.5; Etn2Sd/Etn2Sd (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 2A Rostral to the region lacking a floor plate, expression was detected in the enlarged intermediate zone. It was absent in cells that give rise to the intermediate central gray region and from presumptive motor neuroblasts in the ventrolateral basal plate.
TS21: alar columns Present Regionally restricted 2A Rostral to the region lacking a floor plate, expression was detected in the most dorsal alar plate, which will later form the substantia gelatinosa.
TS21: spinal cord floor plate Absent 2A
TS21: spinal cord roof plate Absent 2A

Specimen 2C: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: spinal cord Present 2C Within the caudal region of wild-type E13 embryos, expression was in a pattern reminiscent of more anterior spinal cord at earlier times.

Specimen 2E: embryonic day 13.5; Etn2Sd/Etn2Sd (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: spinal cord Strong Regionally restricted 2E In mutants, in the absence of the floor plate, expression was very intense at the ventral midline.

Specimen 2G: embryonic day 13.5; Etn2Sd/Etn2Sd (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 2G In mutants, in the absence of the floor plate, expression was very intense at the ventral midline. In some mutant embryos, expression was present at both the dorsal and ventral midline.

Specimen 3A: embryonic day 11.5; Etn2Sd/Etn2Sd (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: mesonephric tubule Present 3A Expression in the mutant was the same as in wild-type embryos.
TS19: nephric duct Present 3A Expression in the mutant was the same as in wild-type embryos.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: mesonephric tubule Present
TS19: nephric duct Present

Specimen 3C: embryonic day 13.5; Etn2Sd/Etn2Sd (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: mesenchyme of metanephros Absent 3C Expression was not detected in the mesenchyme cells surrounding the posterior mesonephric duct.

Specimen 3D: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: mesenchyme of metanephros Present Regionally restricted 3D Expression was detected in the metanephros in the branched ureter and in the condensed mesenchyme surrounding the ureter.
TS20: ureter Present Regionally restricted 3D Expression was detected in the metanephros in the branched ureter and in the condensed mesenchyme surrounding the ureter.

Specimen 3E: embryonic day 13.5; Etn2Sd/Etn2Sd (more )
