Reference: J:142157 McBratney-Owen B, et al., Development and tissue origins of the mammalian cranial base. Dev Biol. 2008 Oct 1;322(1):121-32
Assay type: RNA in situ
MGI Accession ID: MGI:6159293
Gene symbol: Col2a1
Gene name: collagen, type II, alpha 1
Probe: Col2 probe4
Probe preparation: Antisense labelled with digoxigenin RNA
Assay notes: All embryos were first staged using criteria established by Theiler (1989) and Miyake et al. (1996) so that chondrocranial development could be observed relative to developmental stage rather than conception date. After being designated a specific stage (T18 to T24), embryos were labeled according to the general corresponding conception age (E11 to E16).
Results
Specimen E11 not shown: embryonic day 11.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS18: chordamesoderm Present Regionally restricted Expression in parachordal cartilage at E11.

Specimen 3A: embryonic day 12.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: chordamesoderm Present Regionally restricted 3A Expression in the parachordal cartilage.

TS20: head mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 3A Expression in the some mesenchyme of the anterior cranial base.

Specimen 3B: embryonic day 13.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: chordamesoderm Strong Regionally restricted 3B Expression more intense in the parachordal cartilage.
TS21: chondrocranium pre-cartilage condensation Present Regionally restricted 3B Expression in chondrifying hypophyseal and trabecular cartilages.

Specimen 3C: embryonic day 14.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: chondrocranium cartilage condensation Present Regionally restricted 3C Expression where the acrochordal cartilage will develop, which creates the rostral border of the basicranial fenestra.
