Results
Specimen 1B: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: sympathetic ganglion Present 1B Expression is in the cervical sympathetic ganglion.

Specimen 1E: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: thoracic ganglion Present 1E

Specimen 1H: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note

Specimen 2B: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: sympathetic ganglion Strong 2B Expression is in most cells of the cervical sympathetic ganglion.

Specimen 2D: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
