Specimen 4C: postnatal day 7 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: cornea endothelium Present 4C
TS28: cornea epithelium Present 4C
TS28: cornea stroma Absent 4C

Specimen 4D: postnatal day 7 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: lens epithelium Present Regionally restricted 4D Expression was abundant in the cuboidal anterior lens epithelial cells and in the cortical region of the lens.
TS28: lens fiber Present Regionally restricted 4D Expression was detected in the lens fiber cells beneath the anterior epithelium but was absent from a band of cortical secondary fiber cells.

Specimen 4E: postnatal week 9 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: lens epithelium Present Regionally restricted 4E Expression was abundant in the cuboidal anterior lens epithelial cells and in the cortical region of the lens.
TS28: lens fiber Present Regionally restricted 4E Expression was detected in the lens fiber cells beneath the anterior epithelium but was absent from a band of cortical secondary fiber cells. The nuclear fibers and the organelle-free zone at the center of the lens had no staining.
