Results
Specimen 1A: embryonic day 7.75 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: embryo Present Regionally restricted 1A Expressed symmetrically at both sides of the midline.

Specimen 1B: embryonic day 8.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: neural tube Present 1B

Specimen 1C: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: neural tube Present Non-Uniform 1C Expressed more intensely at the pial side.
TS15: branchial arch Present 1C

Specimen 1D: embryonic day 7.75 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: neural plate Present Non-Uniform 1D Expressed largely in the columnar neuroepithelial cells. The signal was stronger in the parts of the cells facing the mesoderm.

Specimen 1E: embryonic day 8.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note

Specimen 3A/B: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: neural tube Present Regionally restricted 3A/B The expression level was highest at the pial side and was localized to the outer-most region.

Specimen 3I/J: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: neural tube Present Regionally restricted 3I/J The expression level was highest at the pial side. The majority of staining was observed outside motor neurons and the fiber tracts in the mantle layer, but was clearly inside the mesenchymal cells surrounding the neural tube.

Specimen 4A/B: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: neural tube lateral wall Present Regionally restricted 4A/B Expressed in a region outside the mantle layer. Considarably lower levels of expression were detected on the luminal side.
