Results
Specimen 1A: embryonic day 15.0 (more )
Note: Bud stage of tooth development.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: oral epithelium Present 1A
TS23: tooth mesenchyme Present 1A
TS23: dental papilla Absent 1A
Specimen 1B: embryonic day 17.0 (more )
Note: Cap stage of tooth development.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: dental lamina Strong 1B
TS25: oral epithelium Strong 1B
TS25: inner enamel epithelium Strong Regionally restricted 1B
TS25: outer enamel epithelium Strong Regionally restricted 1B
Specimen 1C: postnatal day 1 (more )
Note: Early bell stage of tooth development.
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: dental pulp odontoblast Strong Regionally restricted 1C Expression is in the cytoplasm of odontoblasts located on the outer layer of the pulp.
Specimen 1D: postnatal day 4 (more )
Note: Advanced bell stage of tooth development.
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: dental pulp odontoblast Strong Regionally restricted 1D Expression is in the cytoplasm of odontoblasts located on the outer layer of the pulp and was more intense in the apical area.
Specimen 1E: postnatal day 7 (more )
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: dental pulp odontoblast Strong Regionally restricted 1E Expression is in the odontoblast processes and cytoplasm. Expression was 1.4-fold higher on on this day compared to postnatal day 1.
Specimen 1F: postnatal day 10 (more )
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: dental pulp odontoblast Strong Regionally restricted 1F Expression is in the odontoblast processes and cytoplasm. Expression was 1.4-fold higher on on this day compared to postnatal day 1.
Specimen 1G: postnatal day 14 (more )
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: dental pulp odontoblast Strong Regionally restricted 1G Expression is in the odontoblast processes and cytoplasm. Expression was 1.6-fold higher on on this day compared to postnatal day 1.
Specimen 1H: postnatal day 21 (more )
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: dental pulp odontoblast Strong Regionally restricted 1H Expression is in the odontoblast processes and cytoplasm. Expression intensity on this day was similar to that seen on postnatal day 14.
