Results
Specimen 2e: embryonic day 15.5; Acantm1(cre/ERT2)Crm/Acan+, Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1Sor/Gt(ROSA)26Sor+ (more )
Note: Pregnant animal was injected with corn oil on E14.5.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: ulna Present Regionally restricted 2e Expression is detected in the proliferating chondrocytes, but not in the hypertrophic chondrocytes of the ulna growth plate.

Specimen 4c: postnatal week 2.5; Acantm1(cre/ERT2)Crm/Acan+, Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1Sor/Gt(ROSA)26Sor+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: epiphyseal plate Present Regionally restricted 4c Expression is detected in chondrocytes in the resting zone, proliferating zone and higher hypertrophic zone. No expression was detected in chondrocytes of the lower hypertrophic zone.
TS28: knee joint Present Regionally restricted 4c Expression is detected in chondrocytes in the resting zone, proliferating zone and higher hypertrophic zone. No expression was detected in chondrocytes of the lower hypertrophic zone.

Specimen 5a: postnatal month 6; Acantm1(cre/ERT2)Crm/Acan+, Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1Sor/Gt(ROSA)26Sor+ (more )
Note: Animal was injected with oil starting at 6 months for three consecutive days and sacrificed 3 days later.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: articular cartilage Present Regionally restricted 5a Expression is present in chondrocytes in the growth plate of the knee joint, in the uncalcified articular cartilage above the tidemark, and in the superficial layer of the meniscus. It is not in chondrocytes in the calcified cartilage below the tidemark.
