Results
Specimen 3a: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: lens fiber Present Regionally restricted 3a In E13.5 lenses, distinct reactivity was detected in the differentiating primary and secondary fibers.
TS21: lens transition zone Present Regionally restricted 3a Expression was detected in granular or vesicular staining in the transitional zone.
TS21: lens germinative zone Weak Regionally restricted 3a Weak staining was detected in the germinative zone epithelium.
TS21: lens anterior epithelium Ambiguous 3a Little or no staining was observed in the anterior epithelium.

Specimen 3c: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: lens fiber Present Regionally restricted 3c Expression increased as the fiber cells underwent elongation. Immunoreactivity was predominantly present as cytoplasmic puncta, with larger and more intensely labelled granules evident in the cortical fibers.
TS22: lens transition zone Present Regionally restricted 3c Expression was detected in granular or vesicular staining in the transitional zone.
TS22: lens germinative zone Weak Regionally restricted 3c Weak staining was detected in the germinative zone epithelium.
TS22: lens anterior epithelium Ambiguous 3c Little or no staining was observed in the anterior epithelium.

Specimen 3e: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: lens fiber Present Regionally restricted 3e Expression increased as the fiber cells underwent elongation. Immunoreactivity was predominantly present as cytoplasmic puncta, with larger and more intensely labelled granules evident in the cortical fibers.
TS24: lens transition zone Present Regionally restricted 3e Expression was detected in granular or vesicular staining in the transitional zone.
TS24: lens germinative zone Weak Regionally restricted 3e Weak staining was detected in the germinative zone epithelium.
TS24: lens anterior epithelium Ambiguous 3e Little or no staining was observed in the anterior epithelium.

Specimen 4b: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Tob2; red - Eif3b (assay MGI:7662982).
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: lens fiber lens fiber cell Present Regionally restricted 4b' , 4d' , 4d , 4b Expression was most strongly localized to the anterior regions of the lens fibers cells. There was partial overlap with Eif3b in some of the cytoplasmic granules.
