Results
Specimen E14.5 not shown: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: cochlea Absent No expression in presumptive organ of Corti at E14.5 or earlier stages.

Specimen 1A: embryonic day 15.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: cochlea Present Regionally restricted 1A Expression first detected in basal coil of cochlea. Strong expression in region of future outer hair cells. Weak expression in non-sensory supporting cells of both sides of the future organ of Corti. No expression in inner hair cells.

Specimen 1D: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: cochlea Weak Regionally restricted 1D Strong expression maintained in Deiters cells and pillar cells. Decreased expression in outer hair cells. Weak expression in non-sensory supporting cells, including inner phalangeal cells located underneath inner hair cells, as well as Hensen cells and Claudius cells on lateral side of organ of Corti.

Specimen 1G: postnatal day 0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: organ of Corti Present Regionally restricted 1G Strong expression in Deiters cells and pillar cells. Expression in outer hair cells of basal coil. Weaker expression in Hensen and Claudius cells.

Specimen P1 cochlea not shown: postnatal day 1 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: cochlea Present Regionally restricted Expression in outer hair cells of basal coil.

Specimen 1J: postnatal day 7 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: organ of Corti Present Regionally restricted 1J No expression in outer hair cells of basal coil. Expression restricted to Deiters cells and pillar cells, most strongly in outer pillar cells and lateral-most Deiters cells.

Specimen 1K: postnatal day 25 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: organ of Corti Present Regionally restricted 1K Expression restricted to Deiters cells and pillar cells, most strongly in outer pillar cells and lateral-most Deiters cells.

Specimen 1L: embryonic day 15.5; Gfi1tm2Tmo/Gfi1tm2Tmo (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
