Direct Detection
Assay notes: The genotype of the embryos was not specified and may be either heterozygous or homozygous for the Vegfa<tm1Nagy> allele. The fixative was 0.2% glutaraldehyde, 2% paraformaldehyde.
Results
Specimen 4A: embryonic day 13.5; Vegfatm1Nagy/Vegfa+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: forearm Present Regionally restricted 4A Expression was detected in the perichondrium and surrounding tissues of the radius and ulna with increased intensity in the area surrounding the center of the cartilage template where blood vessels will penetrate into the cartilage.

Specimen 4B: embryonic day 13.5; Vegfatm1Nagy/Vegfa+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: forearm Present Regionally restricted 4B Expression was detected in the perichondrium and surrounding tissues of the radius and ulna.

Specimen 4C: embryonic day 13.5; Vegfatm1Nagy/Vegfa+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: vault of skull Present 4C The tissue was calvarium.

Specimen 4D: embryonic day 14.5; Vegfatm1Nagy/Vegfa+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: vault of skull Present Regionally restricted 4D The tissue was calvarium. Expression was detected in the region of mesenchyme destined to differentiate into osteoblasts.

Specimen 4E: embryonic day 14.5; Vegfatm1Nagy/Vegfa+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: vault of skull Present Regionally restricted 4E The tissue was calvarium. Expression was detected in cells covering the surface of calvarial bone in regions where osteoid and mineral are being deposited.
