Results
Specimen 3G: embryonic day 17.5 (more )
Note: Labeling was visualized using BM purple. The specimen was also stained for Cdh1 (red) to visualize the urothelium and Acta2 (green) to visualize the muscularis mucosa and muscularis propria.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: lamina propria of sinovaginal bulb Present Regionally restricted 3G Expression is present in a small compartment of mesenchyme located on the dorsal aspect of the lower vagina.
TS25: lamina propria of pelvic urethra of female Absent 3G

Specimen 3H: embryonic day 17.5 (more )
Note: Labeling was visualized using BM purple. The specimen was also stained for Cdh1 (red) to visualize the urothelium and Acta2 (green) to visualize the muscularis mucosa and muscularis propria.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: lamina propria of pelvic urethra of male Present 3H
TS25: peri-prostatic mesenchyme Present 3H
TS25: lamina propria of ejaculatory duct Present 3H Expression is present in the mesenchyme.
TS25: lamina propria of seminal vesicle Present 3H Expression is present in the mesenchyme.

Specimen 3I: postnatal day 5 (more )
Note: Labeling was visualized using BM purple. The specimen was also stained for Cdh1 (red) to visualize the urothelium and Acta2 (green) to visualize the muscularis mucosa and muscularis propria.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
