Results
Specimen 4C: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: endocardial lining Present 4C
TS15: atrioventricular canal Present Regionally restricted 4C Expression is in the extracellular matrix of mesenchymal cells in the endocardial cushions of the atrioventricular canal.
TS15: cardiac muscle tissue Trace 4C Little or no staining.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: outflow tract Present

Specimen 5C: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: heart Strong Regionally restricted 5C Expression is in the extracellular matrix of the densely packed cells subjacent in the endocardium and is absent in the extracellular matrix of the core region.

Specimen 6C,D: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: (D) is a higher magnification of (C).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: atrioventricular endocardial cushion Present Regionally restricted 6D , 6C Staining is at spaces between cells in the densely packed cell region with lower levels in the extracellular matrix of mesenchymal cells in the cushion core. Higher levels in the superior cushion at areas surrounding loosely packed cells near endocardium.

Specimen 7D,E: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Note: (E) is a higher magnification of (D).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: heart valve Present Regionally restricted 7E , 7D Expression is little or none 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. Staining is mostly at the elongated portion.
