Results
Specimen 5H: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Note: After 4% PFA fixation, embryos were fixed in Dent's fixative.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: forelimb nerve Present 5H

Specimen 5I: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Note: After 4% PFA fixation, embryos were fixed in Dent's fixative.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: forelimb nerve Present 5I Hindlimb innervation at E11.5 was variable. Staining was detected in this sample. When present, nerves in E11.5 hindlimb always extended for a shorter distance into the limb compared to the forelimb.

Specimen 5J: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: After 4% PFA fixation, embryos were fixed in Dent's fixative.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: forelimb nerve Present Regionally restricted 5J Main nerve trunks were present at E12.5, including branches that targeted to proximal tissues.

Specimen 5K: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: After 4% PFA fixation, embryos were fixed in Dent's fixative.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: hindlimb nerve Present Regionally restricted 5K Main nerve trunks were present at E12.5, including branches that targeted to proximal tissues.

Specimen 5L: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Note: After 4% PFA fixation, embryos were fixed in Dent's fixative.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: forelimb nerve Present Regionally restricted 5L Distal nerve branches were seen, proximal patterning of nerves had become more intricate, and nerves had reached the handplate.

Specimen 5M: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Note: After 4% PFA fixation, embryos were fixed in Dent's fixative.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: hindlimb nerve Present Regionally restricted 5M Distal nerve branches were seen, proximal patterning of nerves had become more intricate, and nerves had reached the footplate.

Specimen 5N: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Note: After 4% PFA fixation, embryos were fixed in Dent's fixative.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: forelimb nerve Present Regionally restricted 5N' , 5N Nerves had reached digit tips, thicker nerve branches were visible, and patterning was substantially more complex.

Specimen 5O: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Note: After 4% PFA fixation, embryos were fixed in Dent's fixative.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: hindlimb nerve Present Regionally restricted 5O' , 5O Nerves had reached digit tips, thicker nerve branches were visible, and patterning was substantially more complex.
