Results
Specimen 5D: 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: epithelium of pelvic urethra of female Present 5D Expression levels are lower in the female than the male.

Specimen 5E: 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: intermediate cell layer of pelvic urethra of male Present 5E
TS25: superficial cell layer of pelvic urethra of male Present 5E
TS25: prostate bud Absent 5E

Specimen 5F: 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
TS28: male urethral gland Present Non-Uniform 5F Expression is present in the proximal aspect of the bud.
TS28: prostate gland Present Non-Uniform 5F Expression is present in the proximal aspect of the bud.
