TS22: facial muscle Present Regionally restricted 2A The following BA2-derived muscle were identifiable: buccinator, zyzomaticus, quadratus labii, frontalis, orbicularis oculi, auricularis and occipitalis.
TS22: sterno-mastoid Present Regionally restricted 2A Expression in on-somitic neck muscles such as trapezius, sternocleidomastoid and splenius.
TS22: trapezius Present Regionally restricted 2A Expression in on-somitic neck muscles such as trapezius, sternocleidomastoid and splenius.

Specimen 2B: embryonic day 14.5; Cxcr4tm1Yzo/Cxcr4+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: masseter Strong 2B Expression in BA1-derived muscle. No noticeable difference between genotypes.
TS22: temporalis Strong 2B Expression in BA1-derived muscle. No noticeable difference between genotypes.
TS22: facial muscle Weak Regionally restricted 2B BA2-derived muscle partially reduced in heterozygotes.
TS22: sterno-mastoid Weak Regionally restricted 2B Non-somitic neck muscles such as trapezius, sternocleidomastoid and part of splenius were were less developed compared to wild type.
TS22: trapezius Weak Regionally restricted 2B Non-somitic neck muscles such as trapezius, sternocleidomastoid and part of splenius were were less developed compared to wild type.

Specimen 2C: embryonic day 14.5; Cxcr4tm1Yzo/Cxcr4tm1Yzo (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: masseter Strong 2C BA1- derived muscles were clearly visible and unaffected compared to wild type and heterozygote.
TS22: temporalis Strong 2C BA1- derived muscles were clearly visible and unaffected compared to wild type and heterozygote.
TS22: facial muscle Weak Regionally restricted 2C BA2-derived muscle were considerably less developed compared to wild type and heterozygotes, leading to reduced expression domain in this area.
TS22: sterno-mastoid Trace Regionally restricted 2C Non-somitic neck muscles such as trapezius, sternocleidomastoid and splenius were nearly completely missing.
TS22: trapezius Trace Regionally restricted 2C Non-somitic neck muscles such as trapezius, sternocleidomastoid and splenius were nearly completely missing.
