Results
Specimen 1B E18: embryonic day 18.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: cochlear ganglion Weak Regionally restricted 1B E18 In the spiral ganglion, expression was detected in a neuron-like pattern and partly overlapped with that of Thrb (see assay MGI:5311181).
TS26: cochlear duct Weak Regionally restricted 1B E18 Signals were detected in the stria vascularis and at lower levels in the spiral ligament and spiral limbus.
TS26: organ of Corti Weak Regionally restricted 1B E18 Signals were detected in the greater epithelial ridge and at lower levels in the lesser epithelial ridge. In the greater epithelial ridge, the expression pattern partly overlapped with that of Thrb (see assay MGI:5311181).

Specimen 1B P3: postnatal day 3 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: cochlear ganglion Present Regionally restricted 1B P3 In the spiral ganglion, expression was detected in a neuron-like pattern and partly overlapped with that of Thrb (see assay MGI:5311181).
