Results
Specimen 2D: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: mesenchyme derived from head mesoderm Present 2D Mesodermal expression was detected along the entire length of the head process and notochord.
TS15: notochord Present 2D Mesodermal expression was detected along the entire length of the head process and notochord.
TS15: future brain Present Regionally restricted 2D Expression was restricted to the ventral midline in most of the brain, with the exception of the rostral diencephalon where expression skirts the presumptive hypothalamic region, the paramedian plate.
TS15: future spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 2D Ventral midline expression in the spinal cord extended caudally to the position of the 4th and 5th most recently formed somites.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: notochord Present Regionally restricted Expression becomes restricted to the notochord caudal to the forelimb buds at E11.5.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: central nervous system Present Regionally restricted Thus, there is a continuous ventral strip of expression at, or close to, the ventral midline of the central nervous system (CNS) extending from the rostral limit of the CNS in the forebrain to caudal regions of the spinal cord. This expression persists in the mouse until at least E15.5.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted There was a dorsal expansion of expression at the zona limitans intrathalamica at E10.5.
