Results
Specimen 2B: postnatal day 3; Nat2tm1Esim/Nat2+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: heart Strong Regionally restricted 2B Expression is present in the fibrous continuity between the mitral and aortic valvue leaflets. Expression patterns are similar to that seen in homozygotes but are less intense.
TS27: bronchus Present 2B
TS27: trachea Present 2B

Specimen 2C: postnatal day 3; Nat2tm1Esim/Nat2tm1Esim (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: heart Strong Regionally restricted 2C Expression is present in the fibrous continuity between the mitral and aortic valvue leaflets.
TS27: pulmonary artery Present 2C

Specimen 4A: postnatal day 2; Nat2tm1Esim/Nat2tm1Esim (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: heart Present Regionally restricted 4A Expression is present in the fibrous continuity of the heart.
TS27: mitral valve Present 4A Expression is present in the leaflets.
TS27: tricuspid valve Present 4A Expression is present in the leaflets.
TS27: visceral serosal pericardium Present Single cells 4A , 4B Expression is present in a cluster of cells in the epicardial tissue of the terminal groove.
TS27: right atrium Present Single cells 4A , 4B Expression is present in dispersed cells in the epicardial tissue of the right atrium.

Specimen 4C: postnatal day 2; Nat2tm1Esim/Nat2tm1Esim (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: heart Strong Regionally restricted 4C There is strong staining in the fibrous continuity. There are generally high levels of expression in a field of cells extending from the medial cusp of the tricuspid valvue into the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve.

Specimen 4D: postnatal day 2; Nat2tm1Esim/Nat2tm1Esim (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: aortic valve Present 4E , 4D Expression is present in the leaflets.
TS27: pulmonary artery Present Single cells 4E , 4D There are strongly staining, but interspersed cells, within the smooth muscle layer of the pulmonary artery.

Specimen 5A: postnatal day 5; Nat2tm1Esim/Nat2tm1Esim (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: aortic valve Present 5A , 5B Expression levels are diminished compared to what was seen at neonatal day 2.
TS28: pulmonary valve Present 5A , 5B Expression levels are not diminished compared to what was seen in at neonatal day 2.
TS28: pulmonary artery Present 5A , 5B

Specimen 5C: postnatal day 5; Nat2tm1Esim/Nat2tm1Esim (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: heart Present Regionally restricted 5C Isolated cells close to the aortic valve show staining.
TS28: aortic valve Present Single cells 5C , 5D There is expression in a few cells at the level of the aortic valve leaflets.

Specimen 6A: embryonic day 11.5; Nat2tm1Esim/Nat2tm1Esim (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: heart right ventricle Strong 6A
TS19: heart Strong Regionally restricted 6A There is strong staining in the wall of the primary heart tube.
TS19: outflow tract Present 6A
