Reference: J:66343 Gaunt SJ, et al., Mouse homeo-genes within a subfamily, Hox-1.4, -2.6 and -5.1, display similar anteroposterior domains of expression in the embryo, but show stage- and tissue-dependent differences in their regulation. Development. 1989 Sep;107(1):131-41
Assay type: RNA in situ
MGI Accession ID: MGI:1934225
Gene symbol: Hoxa4
Gene name: homeobox A4
Probe: Hox-1.4 probe2

Visualized with: Autoradiography
Results
Specimen 1B: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: central nervous system Present Regionally restricted 1A/B Transcripts showed a marked anterior-to-posterior fall in abundance over the anterior region of the spinal cord. This fall in abundance was anterior to prevertebra 1 in dorsal parts of the spinal cord but posterior to prevertebra 5 in ventral parts.
TS20: spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 1A/B Transcripts showed a marked anterior-to-posterior fall in abundance over the anterior region of the spinal cord. This fall in abundance was anterior to prevertebra 1 in dorsal parts of the spinal cord but posterior to prevertebra 5 in ventral parts.

Specimen 2A: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: central nervous system Present Regionally restricted 2A
TS20: medulla oblongata Present Regionally restricted 2A The anterior boundary was found in the mid-myelencephalon. The Hox1.4 boundary was located slightly posterior to the Hox2.6 (Fig. 2B) and Hox 5.1 (Fig. 2C) boundaries.

Specimen 3A: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: C1 vertebral cartilage condensation Absent 3A
TS20: C2 vertebral cartilage condensation Weak 3A
TS20: C3 vertebral cartilage condensation Strong 3A
TS20: vertebral cartilage condensation Present Graded 3A A gradual and progressive decline in the abundance of transcripts was noted posterior to prevertebra 7.
TS20: lumbar vertebral cartilage condensation Present 3A Level of labeling remained above background even within the lumbar region.
TS20: lung Present Regionally restricted 3A Transcripts were found in the mesodermal derivatives but not the lining endothelium of the lung.

Specimen 4A: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note

Specimen 5B: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note

TS20: mesonephros Present 6A/B
TS20: metanephros Present 6A/B
TS20: testis Absent 6A/B
TS20: stomach epithelium Absent 6A/B No expression in the lining endothelium of the stomach.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
