Results
Specimen 3A: embryonic day 5.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS7: epiblast Weak Diffuse 3A Expression in primitive ectoderm; low levels of expression throughout the embryonic ectoderm.

Specimen 3B: embryonic day 6.5 (more )
Note: Early streak stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS9: embryo ectoderm Present Regionally restricted 3B Expression in proximal ectoderm; gradient of expression within the embryonic ectoderm; highest levels in the proximal portion of the embryo.
TS9: primitive endoderm Weak 3B Low levels of expression in the overlying visceral endoderm.
TS9: embryo mesoderm Absent 3B No detectable expression in the nascent mesodermal cell population.

Specimen 3C: embryonic day 7.0 (more )
Note: Mid-streak stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS10: embryo ectoderm Present Regionally restricted 3C Expression continues in the proximal region of the ectoderm, predominantly localized to the proximal-posterior ectoderm.
TS10: primitive endoderm Present Regionally restricted 3C Expression in the visceral endoderm overlying the posterior embryonic ectoderm.
TS10: embryo mesoderm Absent 3C No expression in mesodermal cells exiting the streak.

Specimen 4A: embryonic day 7.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: node Present 4A Expression localized to the extreme anterior tip of the primitive streak -- the definitive node.

Specimen 4C: embryonic day 7.5 (more )
Note: Early head fold stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: node Present Regionally restricted 4C
TS11: embryo endoderm Absent 4C

Specimen 4D: embryonic day 8.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: embryo ectoderm Present Regionally restricted 4D Expression confined to ectoderm of the node.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 8.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: embryo ectoderm Present Regionally restricted Expression localized to a small population of ectodermal cell lyting at the lateral borders of the node.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: embryo Absent
