Results
Specimen E6.5: embryonic day 6.5 (more )
Note: Embryo lacks mesoderm.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: decidua Strong Regionally restricted S8 was consistently expressed at high levels in the outer regions of the decidua.
TS9: embryo Absent Hybridization was not detected in embryos prepared at 6.5 days of gestation, which lacked mesoderm.

Specimen 1A,1B: embryonic day 7.0 (more )
Note: Primitive streak stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS10: amniotic fold mesoderm Weak Regionally restricted 1A/B A weak signal was detected in the mesoderm of the posterior amniotic fold.

Specimen 1C,1D: embryonic day 7.0 (more )
Note: Primitive streak stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: decidua Strong Regionally restricted 1C S8 was consistently expressed at high levels in the outer regions of the decidua. Expression was absent in the remainder of the decidua.
TS10: embryo mesoderm Absent 1C Authors note that it is possible that the lack of detectable expression in the embryonic mesoderm reflects only a small difference in actual expression between extraembryonic and embryonic mesoderm.

Specimen 2A,2B: embryonic day 7.5 (more )
Note: Early headfold stage; no somites present.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: embryo mesoderm Present 2A/B Due to the curvature of the cylinder-shaped embryo, the plane of section in Fig. 2E and F grazes the mesodermal layer, which results in a rather diffuse appearance of the expression domain.
TS11: embryo Present Regionally restricted 2A/B Hybridization is absent from a posterior region including the primitive streak.

Specimen 2C,2D: embryonic day 7.5 (more )
Note: Early headfold stage; no somites present.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: allantois mesoderm Moderate Regionally restricted 2C/D The border of expression in extraembryonal mesoderm apparently corresponds with the embryonic/extraembryonic boundary. More laterally, embryonic mesoderm at this boundary does not express S8. Signal is observed at all levels from distal to proximal.
TS11: primitive streak Present Graded 2C/D Along the streak, the strength of hybridization increases gradually towards lateral regions, as reflected by the lower posterior expression levels. The region lacking S8 expression is posteriorly more narrow.

Specimen 2E,2F: embryonic day 7.5 (more )
Note: Early headfold stage; no somites present.

Specimen 2G,2H: embryonic day 7.5 (more )

Specimen 3A,3B: embryonic day 7.5 (more )
Note: Early headfold/neural plate stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: embryo Present Regionally restricted 3A/B Expression was seen in mesoderm, known to spread anterolaterally. No mesodermal cells were observed anteriorly from the S8 expression domain.

Specimen 3C,3D: embryonic day 7.5 (more )
Note: Early headfold stage; no somites present. This embryo was dissected from the maternal tissue and membranes.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: head mesenchyme Present 3C/D Expression was present in head mesenchyme flanking the open neural fold.
