Results
Specimen 1a1: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: vestibular component epithelium Absent 1a1

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: vestibular component epithelium Absent There was still no or extremely rare and faint staining.

Specimen 1b1: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: vestibular component epithelium Present Regionally restricted 1b1 Expression was detected in the afferent neurites within the sensory epithelia and around the sensory cells. Strongly stained patches were present at the base of the sensory cells.
TS23: utricle Present 1b1
TS23: semicircular canal Present Regionally restricted 1b1 Expression was detected in the central zones of the cristae.

Specimen 1c1: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: utricle Present Punctate 1c1 Expression was detected in afferent endings.
TS24: semicircular canal Present Regionally restricted 1c1 Expression was dected in the cristae. Hair cells were not stained.

Specimen 1d1: embryonic day 18.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: utricle Present Regionally restricted 1d1 The pattern of staining was identical but denser than that at E16.5. Labeled fibers formed a dense plexus at the base of the sensory cells and long punctuate neurites along them. Rare hair cells were faintly stained.
TS26: crista ampullaris Present 1d1

Specimen 2a: postnatal newborn (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: vestibular epithelium Strong Regionally restricted 2a Expression was observed in numerous afferent neurites in the sensory epithelia.

Specimen 2b1: postnatal newborn (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: vestibular epithelium Present Punctate 2b1 Expression formed patches at the base of the hair cells and in the thin neurites growing almost to the apex of the sensory cells. Some sensory cells were strongly labeled.

Specimen 3a1: postnatal day 9 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: vestibular epithelium Present Regionally restricted 3a1 Expression was detected in numerous afferent calyces and patches localized at the base of the sensory cells. Staining was intense in the upper part of the calyces. Moderate to intense staining was noted in the hair cell cytoplasms.

Specimen 3e1: postnatal day 20 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: vestibular epithelium Present Regionally restricted 3e1 Expression was detected in the nerve calyces and endings at the base of the sensory cells. Staining was noted in the hair cell cytoplasms.
