Results
Specimen not shown: embryonic day 13.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: lung epithelium Present Regionally restricted Expression in epithelium of smaller airways; no expression in epithelium of larger airways.

Specimen 1C: embryonic day 14.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: lung epithelium Present Regionally restricted 1C Expression in epithelium of smaller, more peripheral airways; expression tended to be continuous, strongest at luminal edge. Little or no expression in epithelium of larger proximal airways.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 14.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: lung epithelium Present Regionally restricted Gradient of expression from tall columnar epithelium of larger airways, with increasing expression in low cuboidal epithelium of smaller airways.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 15.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: lung epithelium Present Regionally restricted Expression confined to epithelium of small airways; maximal level of expression not as high as at E14.

Specimen 2C: embryonic day 16.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: lung epithelium Present Regionally restricted 2C Reduced expression in epithelium of small airways in the center of the section relative to the periphery. No expression in the presumptive Clara cell population of large airway epithelium.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 17.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: lung epithelium Present Regionally restricted Increased numbers of non-expressing epithelial cells in small airways. No expression in large proximal airways.

Specimen 4C: embryonic day 18.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: lung epithelium Present Regionally restricted 4C No expression in core of tall neuroendocrine cells in large NEB. Expression in cap of presumptive Clara cells covering luminal surface of NEB. Expression in Clara cell population in all large airway epithelium, extending into proximal small airways.
TS26: lung Present Regionally restricted 4C Expression in of small dense clumps of noncellular material primarily in lumen of small distal airways.

Specimen 4D: embryonic day 18.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: lung epithelium Present Regionally restricted 4D Expression in occasional cells, tentatively identified as differentiating Type II alveolar cells, in small airways near the periphery of the section.
TS26: lung Present Regionally restricted 4D Weak expression in many scattered cells associated with small airways throughout the lung.
