Assay notes: A mixture of two antibodies (MGI:5140020 and MGI:5140096) was used in immunohistochemical studies.
Results
Specimen 5A left top: embryonic day 18.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: tibia Present Regionally restricted 5A left top Intracellular staining was observed throughout the differentiating zones, excluding the superficial two to three cell layers of articular surface and the hypertrophic zone in the proximal tibial head.

Specimen 5A left bottom: postnatal day 5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: tibia Present Regionally restricted 5A right middle , 5A left bottom , 5A right top , 5A right bottom Intracellular staining was observed throughout the differentiating zones, excluding the superficial two to three cell layers of articular surface and the hypertrophic zone in the proximal tibial head.
TS28: epiphyseal plate proliferative zone Strong Regionally restricted 5A left bottom , 5A right middle , 5A right bottom Highest expressionwas seen in the proliferating and prehypertrophic zones of the developing growth plate in the proximal tibial head.
TS28: epiphyseal plate hypertrophic zone Absent 5A right bottom , 5A left bottom
TS28: articular cartilage Present Regionally restricted 5A left bottom No expression in the superficial two to three cell layers in the proximal tibial head.

Specimen 5B Snorc 2 mo top: postnatal month 2 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: articular cartilage Present Regionally restricted 5B Snorc 2 mo top Intracellular protein was detected in the uncalcified articular cartilage, while below the tidemark no intracellular staining was seen in the proximal tibial head.

Specimen 5B Snorc 2 mo bottom: postnatal month 2 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
