Results
Specimen 2B: postnatal newborn (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: cervical loop Present Regionally restricted 2B Authors state that ameloblast differentiation coincided with down regulation of expression. Expression in inner enamel epithelium was restricted, only in cervical loop.

Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: molar enamel organ Present Regionally restricted 2D
TS27: Hertwig's epithelial root sheath Present 2D
TS27: stellate reticulum Present 2D
TS27: stratum intermedium Present 2D

Specimen 2F: postnatal newborn (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: molar enamel organ Present Regionally restricted 2F
TS27: cervical loop Present 2F
TS27: outer enamel epithelium Present 2F
TS27: stellate reticulum Present 2F
TS27: stratum intermedium Present 2F

Specimen 6A: embryonic day 18.0 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Pitx2; violet - Barx1 (assay MGI:6188913).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: upper jaw molar epithelium Present Regionally restricted 6A Expression in dental epithelium of maxillary first molar.

Specimen 6B: embryonic day 18.0 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Pitx2; violet - Barx1 (assay MGI:6188913).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: lower jaw molar epithelium Present Regionally restricted 6B Expression in dental epithelium of mandibular first molar.

Specimen 6C: embryonic day 18.0; Pitx1tm1Jdr/Pitx1tm1Jdr (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: upper jaw molar enamel organ Present Regionally restricted 6C Authors report no alternation in expression pattern of developing molars of mutant mice. Expression in maxillary first molar localized in cells of outer enamel epitheium, stratum intermedium and stellate reticulum. Down regulation of expression at tip of cusps coinciding with pre-ameloblast differentiation.
TS26: outer enamel epithelium Present 6C
TS26: stellate reticulum Present 6C
TS26: stratum intermedium Present 6C

Specimen 6D: embryonic day 18.0; Pitx1tm1Jdr/Pitx1tm1Jdr (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: lower jaw molar enamel organ Present Regionally restricted 6D Authors report no alternation in expression pattern of developing molars of mutant mice. Expression in mandibular first molar in cells of outer enamel epithelium, stratum intermedium, stellate reticulum and preameloblasts. Down regulation of expresion at tip of cusps coinciding with pre-ameloblast differentiation.
TS26: outer enamel epithelium Present 6D
TS26: stellate reticulum Present 6D
TS26: stratum intermedium Present 6D

Specimen 7A: embryonic day 18.0; Pitx1tm1Jdr/Pitx1tm1Jdr (more )
