Reference: J:30750 Gaunt SJ, et al., Spatially restricted domains of homeo-gene transcripts in mouse embryos: relation to a segmented body plan. Development. 1988;104(Suppl):169-79
Assay type: RNA in situ
MGI Accession ID: MGI:1344202
Gene symbol: Hoxa5
Gene name: homeobox A5
Probe: Hoxa5 probe2
Probe preparation: Antisense labelled with S35 RNA
Results
Specimen 3B: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: vertebral cartilage condensation Present 3B Labelling remained above background at least until pv24. Intensity of labelling was progressively reduced.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: thyroid gland Present
TS20: pharynx Absent Expression was similar to that described for Hox-1.4 (see assay MGI:1344203): Transcripts were generally not present in tissues that formed the floor of the pharynx. Transcripts were not detectable anterior to the thyroid duct.
TS20: trachea Present Regionally restricted Sections were labelled within mesodermal but not endodermal (lining epithelial) components.
TS20: lung Present Regionally restricted Labelling was restricted to mesodermal components and did not include the endodermally derived lung epithelium.
TS20: outflow tract aortic component Weak Regionally restricted Transcripts were detected within the walls of the aortic trunk.
TS20: spinal cord Present Graded A progressive anterior-to-posterior fall in abundance of transcripts was observed.

Specimen Table 1: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: heart Absent
TS20: pharynx Absent Expression was not detected in the ventral pharynx.
TS20: lung Present
TS20: mesonephros Present
TS20: metanephros Present
TS20: thyroid gland Present
TS20: trachea Present
TS20: stomach Present Regionally restricted Transcripts were restricted to the mesodermal components.
TS20: stomach epithelium Absent

Specimen 6C: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: central nervous system Present Regionally restricted 6C The anterior boundary lay in the posterior floor of the myelencephalon. The bounday is irregular in shape along the dorsoventral axis of the nervous tissue. These irregularities have been found to be consistent among different embryos.
TS20: medulla oblongata floor plate Present Regionally restricted 6C The anterior boundary lay in the posterior floor of the myelencephalon. The bounday is irregular in shape along the dorsoventral axis of the nervous tissue. These irregularities have been found to be consistent among different embryos.
