Results
Specimen 4A: embryonic day 10.5; Rspo2tm1Hoka/Rspo2tm1Hoka (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: forelimb bud apical ectodermal ridge Present Regionally restricted 4C Expression in the AER in a similar pattern to that seen in wild type limbs. Lower expression in the anterior region of the AER.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 10.5; Rspo2tm1Hoka/Rspo2tm1Hoka (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: forelimb bud apical ectodermal ridge Present Regionally restricted Slight reduction in expression abserved in the posterior region of the AER in 2 of 10 forelimbs at E10.5

Specimen 4D: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: forelimb bud apical ectodermal ridge Present Widespread 4D Expression in the entire AER.

Specimen 4G: embryonic day 11.5; Rspo2tm1Hoka/Rspo2tm1Hoka (more )
