Results
Specimen 4A: embryonic day 18.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: lung epithelium Present Regionally restricted 4A Expressed in the cuboidal epithelial cells of distal airspaces.
TS26: lung mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 4A A relatively low expression in mesenchymal tissue between airspaces.

Specimen 4B: postnatal day 2 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: alveolus epithelium Present 4B
TS27: alveolar wall Present Regionally restricted 4B Expressed mainly in the alveolar epithelium, and little message was detected in mesenchymal cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, or airway cells.

Specimen 4C: postnatal day 8 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: alveolus epithelium Present 4C
TS28: alveolar wall Present Regionally restricted 4C Expressed mainly in the alveolar epithelium, and little message was detected in mesenchymal cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, or airway cells.

Specimen 4D: postnatal day 8 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: alveolus epithelium Present Regionally restricted 4D Expressed in rounded alveolar epithelial cells located at alveolar corners, suggestive of type II alveolar epithelial cells. No appreciable message was seen in flattened alveolar epithelial cells.

Specimen 5A: postnatal day 10 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: alveolus epithelium Present Regionally restricted 5A Expressed primarily in the distal alveolar epithelium.
