Results
Specimen 3A: embryonic day 10.5; Shhtm1Chg/Shhtm1Chg (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: apical ectodermal ridge Present 3A At E10.5, the apical ectodermal ridge is initiated normally in the mutant.

Specimen 3B: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: apical ectodermal ridge Present 3B

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 10.75; Shhtm1Chg/Shhtm1Chg (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS18: forelimb bud apical ectodermal ridge Present Regionally restricted By E10.75 expression was restricted to a small region of the posterior forelimb apical ectodermal ridge in the mutant.

Specimen 3C: embryonic day 11.5; Shhtm1Chg/Shhtm1Chg (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: handplate apical ectodermal ridge Present Regionally restricted 3C Expression was restricted to a small region of the posterior apical ectodermal ridge.
TS19: footplate apical ectodermal ridge Present Regionally restricted 3C Expression was fading out from anterior to posterior in the hindlimb apical ectodermal ridge.

Specimen 3D: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: footplate apical ectodermal ridge Present 3D
TS19: handplate apical ectodermal ridge Present 3D

Specimen 3E: embryonic day 12.5; Shhtm1Chg/Shhtm1Chg (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: hand Present Regionally restricted 3E Expression was severely restricted in the anterior-posterior expanse, remaining strongest only in a small posterior region.

Specimen 3F: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: hand Present 3F
