Results
Specimen 4A,B: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Note: (B) is a higher magnification of (A).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: atrioventricular canal Present Regionally restricted 4B , 4A Expression is in the extracellular matrix of the endocardial cushions of the atrioventricular canal.
TS15: heart Present Regionally restricted 4B , 4A Expression is in the aortic sac of the anterior heart field and deposits of protein were found spanning acellular spaces between endocardial and myocardial layers.
TS15: endocardial lining Present 4A
TS15: outflow tract Present 4A
TS15: primitive ventricle Present Regionally restricted 4A Expression is in the ventricular subendocardium.
TS15: cardiac muscle tissue Trace 4A Little or trace was seen in myocardium.

Specimen 5A: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: atrioventricular canal Strong Regionally restricted 5A Expression is in the atrioventricular cushion tissue. Expression is high in the extracellular matrix within the core of the cushion immediately subjacent to the endocardium.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: outflow tract Strong

Specimen 6A,B: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: atrioventricular endocardial cushion Present Regionally restricted 6B , 6A Expression is in the extracellular matrix of the mesenchymal core of both inferior and superior cushions and is absent in the extracellular matrix surrounding densely packed cells.

Specimen 7A,B: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: heart valve Strong Regionally restricted 7B , 7A Expression is in regions of loosely packed mesenchymal cells adjacent to the densely packed cells and is mostly absent in the highly compacted cell region of the atrioventricular valve leaflets, and in the core extending into elongated portion.
