Results
Specimen whole mount: embryonic day 15.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: renal cortex Strong 2_Smad4 whole-mount
TS23: metanephros Present Regionally restricted 2_Smad4 whole-mount Strongly expressed in the nephrogenic zone. Markedly reduced in the medulla.

Specimen cryosection: embryonic day 15.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: mesenchyme of metanephros Present Regionally restricted 2_Smad4 cryosection Strong signal in the uninduced mesenchyme and the ureteric bud tips within the nephrogenic zone. More weakly expressed by mesenchymal cells in the interstitium. Weakly expressed in the mesenchymal cells surrounding the ureter.
TS23: ureter Present Regionally restricted 2_Smad4 cryosection Strong signal in the uninduced mesenchyme and the ureteric bud tips within the nephrogenic zone. More weakly expressed by mesenchymal cells in the interstitium. Weakly expressed in the mesenchymal cells surrounding the ureter.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 12.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: metanephros Present Regionally restricted Authors report similar results to that obtained at E15.
