Results
Specimen 5A: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: apical ectodermal ridge Strong Regionally restricted 5A Strong expression in the posterior and anterior margins, including both the ectoderm, the underlying mesenchyme, the apical ectodermal ridge (AER), and in the progress zone below the AER.
TS17: limb ectoderm Strong Regionally restricted 5A Strong expression in the posterior and anterior margins, including both the ectoderm, the underlying mesenchyme, the apical ectodermal ridge (AER), and in the progress zone below the AER.
TS17: limb mesenchyme Strong Regionally restricted 5A Strong expression in the posterior and anterior margins, including both the ectoderm, the underlying mesenchyme, the apical ectodermal ridge (AER), and in the progress zone below the AER.

Specimen 5B: embryonic day 10.5; ShhDsh/ShhDsh (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: apical ectodermal ridge Present Regionally restricted 5B The strong expression in the posterior margin seen in the wild-type is virtually absent in the mutant. The expression in the apical ectodermal ridge and in the progress zone below it seen in the wild-type are present in the mutant.
TS17: limb Present Regionally restricted 5B The strong expression in the posterior margin seen in the wild-type is virtually absent in the mutant. The expression in the apical ectodermal ridge and in the progress zone below it seen in the wild-type are present in the mutant.
TS17: limb mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 5B The strong expression in the posterior margin seen in the wild-type is virtually absent in the mutant. The expression in the apical ectodermal ridge and in the progress zone below it seen in the wild-type are present in the mutant.

Specimen 5C: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: apical ectodermal ridge Strong Regionally restricted 5C Expression is present in the anterior and posterior marginal zone, including the ectoderm and the mesenchyme; in the AER and the progress zone below it; and in low levels in domains in the proximal bud that appear to correspond to the developing joints.
TS19: limb ectoderm Strong Regionally restricted 5C Expression is present in the anterior and posterior marginal zone, including the ectoderm and the mesenchyme; in the AER and the progress zone below it; and in low levels in domains in the proximal bud that appear to correspond to the developing joints.
TS19: limb mesenchyme Strong Regionally restricted 5C Expression is present in the anterior and posterior marginal zone, including the ectoderm and the mesenchyme; in the AER and the progress zone below it; and in low levels in domains in the proximal bud that appear to correspond to the developing joints.

Specimen 5D: embryonic day 11.5; ShhDsh/ShhDsh (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: apical ectodermal ridge Present Regionally restricted 5D As in wild type, expression is present in the AER and the progress zone below it. However, expression is absent in the anterior and posterior limb bud and is reduced in some of the expression domains that may correspond to developing joints.
