Results
Specimen 1A: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 1A Expression in ventral diencephalon, particularly in basal cells lining lumen, with no expression in cells on apical aspect.
TS17: Rathke's pouch Present Regionally restricted 1A Expression in Rathke's pouch as early as E10.5 in cells lining presumptive lumen.

Specimen 1B: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 1B Expression in ventral diencephalon, throughout rostral and caudal domains.
TS19: Rathke's pouch Present 1B

Specimen 1C: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 1C Expression in ventral diencephalon throughtout rostral and caudal domains.
TS20: remnant of Rathke's pouch Absent 1C

Specimen 1D: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: neurohypophysis pars nervosa Present 1D Expression in developing posterior lobe.
TS22: neurohypophysis infundibulum Present 1D Expression in infundibulum.
TS22: adenohypophysis Present Regionally restricted 1D Expression in ventral region of anterior lobe, extending into rostral tip.

Specimen 1E: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: pituitary gland Weak 1E Expression waning by E16.5.

Specimen 1F: postnatal adult (more )
