Results
Specimen 5J: 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 dorsal pelvic urethra of female Present 5J
TS25: submucosa of pelvic urethra of female Present 5J
TS25: ventral mesenchymal pad of female Present 5J
Specimen 5K: 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: submucosa of pelvic urethra of male Present 5K
TS25: lamina propria of bladder Present Regionally restricted 5K Expression is in a restricted zone of mesenchyme located on the dorsal aspect of the bladder neck.
TS25: prostate epithelium Weak 5K
TS25: lamina propria of seminal vesicle Weak 5K Expression is present in the mesenchyme.
TS25: ventral mesenchymal pad of male Present Regionally restricted 5K Expression is present in portions.
Specimen 5L: 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: lamina propria of pelvic urethra of male Present 5L
TS28: peri-prostatic mesenchyme Present 5L Expression is concentrated in the prostatic bud distal tips.
