Results
Specimen not shown: embryonic day 3.0 (more )
Note: Late morula.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS3: compacted morula Present Authors report expression from late morula stage.

Specimen 5J: embryonic day 3.5 (more )
Note: Mid blastocyst.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS4: inner cell mass Present 5J Expression in inner cell mass (ICM) cells of early to hatched blastocysts.

Specimen 5K: embryonic day 3.5 (more )
Note: Expanding blastocyst.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS4: inner cell mass Present 5K Expression in inner cell mass (ICM) cells of early to hatched blastocysts.

Specimen 5L: embryonic day 4.0 (more )
Note: Expanding blastocyst.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS5: inner cell mass Present 5L Expression in inner cell mass (ICM) cells of early to hatched blastocysts.

Specimen 5M: embryonic day 4.5 (more )
Note: Implanted blastocyst.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS6: epiblast Present 5M Authors report majority of embryos with expression in both ICM derivatives.
TS6: primitive endoderm Strong 5M Authors report majority of embryos with expression in both ICM derivatives. In 61/86 embryos, primitive endoderm (PrE) expression was stronger in some cells than in others.

Specimen 5N: embryonic day 4.5 (more )
Note: Implanted blastocyst.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS6: epiblast Present 5N In 25/86 embryos, expression exclusively in epiblast.

Specimen 5O: embryonic day 5.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS7: epiblast Present 5O Expression exclusively in epiblast.
TS7: primitive endoderm Absent 5O Expression exclusively in epiblast.

Specimen 5P: embryonic day 5.25 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS8: epiblast Present 5P
TS8: primitive endoderm Present 5P Expression detected again in visceral endoderm at E5.25.
