Results
Specimen 3D: embryonic day 12.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: palatal shelf mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 3D Expression within maxillary and central regions of palatal mesenchyme. No expression within nasal mesenchyme.
TS20: palatal shelf epithelium Present Regionally restricted 3D Expression within palatal epithelial basement membrane.

Specimen 3E: embryonic day 13.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: palatal shelf mesenchyme Very strong Widespread 3E Expression greatly intensified within all regions of palatal mesenchyme, most profound within nasal, dorsal medial, central and maxillary mesenchyme. Expression relatively decreased but detected within ventral and mid-oral mesenchyme.
TS21: tooth mesenchyme Absent 3E No expression in lateral or tooth germ mesenchyme.
TS21: palatal shelf epithelium Present Regionally restricted 3E Expression in palatal basement membrane, increased within nasal and oral regions.

Specimen 3F: embryonic day 14.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: palatal shelf mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 3F Expression disappeared from within nasal mesenchyme and associated osteogenic sites. Intense expression remained within dorsal medial mesenchyme, extending ventrally to outline the regressing palatal seam. Band of expression through maxillary and central mesenchyme. Decreased but detectable expression within ventral medial mesenchyme.

Specimen gd 14-fused not shown: embryonic day 14.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: palatal shelf mesenchyme Weak Regionally restricted Expression reduced in all mesenchymal regions exceptor the dorsal medial.
