Results
Specimen 3D +/+ embryo: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: embryo Present 3D +/+ embryo

Specimen 3D -/- embryo: embryonic day 12.5; Fbxw7as1tm1Opaz/Fbxw7as1tm1Opaz (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: embryo Present Patchy 3D -/- embryo Scattered expression was detected in the mutant. Expression was strong in the embryo-placenta vascular connection.

Specimen 3D +/+ angiog: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: blood vessel Present Regionally restricted 3D +/+ angiog Expression was detected during angiogenesis in the perineural region.

Specimen 3D -/- angiog: embryonic day 12.5; Fbxw7as1tm1Opaz/Fbxw7as1tm1Opaz (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: blood vessel Present Regionally restricted 3D -/- angiog Expression was detected during angiogenesis in the perineural region as in wild type, but there was less branching in the mutant.

Specimen 3D +/+ vasc net: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: embryo Present 3D +/+ vasc net

Specimen 3D -/- vasc net: embryonic day 12.5; Fbxw7as1tm1Opaz/Fbxw7as1tm1Opaz (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: embryo Present Regionally restricted 3D -/- vasc net Expression was detected in sporadic blood islands incompletely circumscribed by immunostained single cell vascular wall in the mutant.
