Results
Specimen 2E: postnatal adult (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: circumvallate papillae Present Regionally restricted 2E Expression in thin nerve fibers forming the subgemmal nerve plexus in the lamina propria, some penetrating the taste buds. No expression in neuronal perikarya.
TS28: taste bud Absent 2E No expression in taste bud cellular elements.

Specimen 3C: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: tongue epithelium Weak Regionally restricted 3C Weak expression in a small number of nerve fibers in the lamina propria just beneath the apical epithelium.

Specimen not shown E13: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: tongue epithelium Present Regionally restricted

Specimen not shown E14: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: circumvallate papillae Present Regionally restricted

Specimen not shown E15: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: circumvallate papillae Present Regionally restricted Expression in an increased number of nerve fibers in the lamina propria, some of these penetrating the apical epithelium.

Specimen 5B: embryonic day 17.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: circumvallate papillae Present Regionally restricted 5B Expression in a small number of nerve fibers penetrating the apical epithelium, at the border of outer lateral trench wall and lingual epithelium, and the inner lateral epithelium of the trench.

Specimen not shown E18: embryonic day 18.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: circumvallate papillae Present Regionally restricted

Specimen not shown P0: postnatal day 0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: circumvallate papillae Present Regionally restricted Authors report temporal changes in number of nerve fibers were almost identical to that seen for expression of PGP- 9.5 (see assay MGI:5694656).

Specimen not shown P5: postnatal day 5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: circumvallate papillae Present Regionally restricted Expression in round- or oval-shaped cell in inner trench wall epithelium, laterac changing to a spindle-like appearance. Expression in apical epithelium disappeared.

Specimen 9B: postnatal day 14 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: circumvallate papillae Present Regionally restricted 9B Authors state that intensity and distribution of expression in nerve fibers was almost identical to that seen in adults (compare with Figure 2E)
