Specimen 6C: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Note: level of prevertebra 5
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: neural tube Present Regionally restricted 6C Expression was detected in a more anterior location up to the level of the 4th prevertebra. No expression was found in the ventral horns or ependymal layer at this axial level.
TS19: neural tube mantle layer Present Regionally restricted 6C Expression was detected in a more anterior location up to the level of the 4th prevertebra. In this region was limited to a population in the mediolateral region of the mantle layer.

Note: level of prevertebra 7
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: neural tube Present Regionally restricted 6D The posterior expression domain up to prevertebra 5 was consistent with a continuation of the pattern observed at E10.5. Expression was predominant in the ventral horns. Low levels of expression were found in the ependymal layer with an intensity gradient from ventral to dorsal.

Note: level of prevertebra 3
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 6E In proximity to the anterior boundary of Hoxc8 expression in the spinal cord, expression was in two stripes. A vertical band of cells expressing Hoxc8 extended along the ependymal layer in a dorsoventral orientation. A second, wedge-shaped group of cells was found in a medial to lateral orientation across the mantle layer.
TS20: dorsal root ganglion Absent 6E At this level of the spinal cord, the dorsal root ganglion was not stained.

Specimen 6G: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: level of prevertebra 8
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 6G Expression was fully reconstituted at the level of the 7th prevertebra and persisted through the level of the 10th prevertebra.
TS20: dorsal root ganglion Present Regionally restricted 6G At this level of the spinal cord, expression was also present in a subset of cells in dorsal root ganglia.

Specimen 7A: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: Cross sections through embryos in the upper thoracic region (level of prevertebra 8). Double labeled: green - Hoxc8; red - Map2 (assay MGI:7461215).
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: thoracic dorsal root ganglion Present Regionally restricted 7A , 7B Expression in the dorsal root ganglion coincided with the level of strong expression in the spinal cord.
TS20: sympathetic ganglion neuron Present Regionally restricted 7A , 7B Expression within the sympathetic chain was restricted to the three to four anterior-most, upper thoracic ganglia. Co-labeling with Map2 indicated the staining was associated with differentiating neurons.
TS20: spinal cord neuron Strong Regionally restricted 7B , 7A Expression was strong in the ventral horn of the spinal cord. Co-labeling with Map2 indicated the staining was associated with differentiating neurons.

Specimen 7C: embryonic day 12.5 (more )

Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: spinal cord mantle layer spinal cord motor neuron Present Regionally restricted 7E Coexpression of Hoxc8 and Prph was found in a small subset of cells in the spinal cord at the outer border of the mantle layer. These cells are likely to be presynaptic motor neurons. Other sets of motor neurons expressed Hoxc8 alone.
