Results
Specimen 2A,A',A": embryonic day 12.5; Lgr4Gt(LST020)Byg/Lgr4+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: eye Strong Regionally restricted 2A' , 2A" , 2A High expression was detected in the epithelium and mesenchymal cells of the eyelid and in the groove between the eyelid and eyeball. Intense expression was also noted in the eyeball.

Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: eye Present Regionally restricted 2B , 2B' , 2B" Expression was detected in most of the eyeball.
TS22: upper eyelid epithelium Present Regionally restricted 2B' , 2B Expression was detected in the basal layer of the epithelium of the eyelid.
TS22: upper eyelid mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 2B , 2B' Expression was detected in the mesenchymal cells of the eyelid tip.
TS22: lower eyelid epithelium Present Regionally restricted 2B" , 2B Expression was detected in the basal layer of the epithelium of the eyelid.
TS22: lower eyelid mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 2B , 2B" Expression was detected in the mesenchymal cells of the eyelid tip.
