Results
Specimen 1A: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: cranium Present Regionally restricted 1A Expressed in regions of mesenchymal condensations comprising flat bones of the skull destined to undergo intramembranous ossification.

Specimen 1B: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: vertebra Strong Regionally restricted 1B Expression was high in osteoblasts and associated periosteal cells, and along the diaphysis forming the cortex of the long bone after ossification has begun. Expression was low or undetectable in chondrocytes and other cells surrounding osteogenic cells.

Specimen 1C: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: rib Strong Regionally restricted 1C Expression was high in osteoblasts and associated periosteal cells, and along the diaphysis forming the cortex of the long bone after ossification has begun.

Specimen 1D: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: maxilla Strong Regionally restricted 1D Expression was more prominent at sites of intramembranous ossification. The signal was predominantly in osteoblasts and periosteal cells. Expression was low or undetectable in chondrocytes and other cells surrounding osteogenic cells.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: pre-cartilage condensation Weak Expressed in circumscribing precartilaginous condensations of developing endochondral bones.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: cardiac muscle tissue Present
TS20: skin Present Regionally restricted Expressed in the subcutaneous mesenchyme.
