Results
Specimen 5.A: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: head mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 5A Expression was detected in the mesenchyme between the telencephalon and the olfactory pit, and in the mesenchyme surrounding the otic vesicle.
TS17: trunk mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 5A Dermatomes express in their dorsal portions. Expression was evident in dermatomes from the first somite to the midtrunk level.

Specimen 5.B: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Note: Embryo is slightly older than the one shown in A.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: 1st branchial arch Present Regionally restricted 5B Expression in the first and second branchial arch was confined to the most posterior proximal edges.
TS17: 2nd branchial arch Present Regionally restricted 5B Expression in the first and second branchial arch was confined to the most posterior proximal edges.
TS17: trunk mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 5B Expression was detected in dermatomes from the first somites back to somites at the hindlimb level.

Specimen 5.C: embryonic day 11.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS18: telencephalon Present 5C
TS18: head mesenchyme Absent 5C
TS18: trunk paraxial mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 5C Expression was diminished in the cervical somites, whereas the dorsal dermatome of all the posterior somites down to the base to the tail were strongly positive.

Specimen 5.D: embryonic day 11.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS18: trunk mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 5D No positive cells were seen in the migrating staging area.

Specimen 5.E: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: head mesenchyme Absent 5E
TS19: trunk somite Absent 5E
TS19: tail somite Present 5E
TS19: telencephalon Present 5E

Specimen 5.F: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: hindlimb bud Present Regionally restricted 5F Expression was present in the posterior region of the hindlimb bud.

Specimen 5.G: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Note: Dermatome shown in G is developmentally younger than that shown in I.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: trunk mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 5G In progressively older dermatomal tissue, the location of expression was shifted from the mediodorsal portion to a more dorsal location in the epithelial dermatome.

Specimen 5.I: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: trunk mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 5I In progressively older dermatomal tissue, the location of expression was shifted from the mediodorsal portion to a more dorsal location in the epithelial dermatome.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: branchial arch Present
TS15: head mesenchyme Present
TS15: mesonephros Present
TS15: tail Present
TS15: 3rd branchial arch mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted Expression was detected in the mesenchyme posterior to the last branchial arch.
TS15: gut Present Regionally restricted Expression was detected in part of the gut.
TS15: trunk paraxial mesenchyme Absent No expression was detected within the somitic tissue of the trunk.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: telencephalon Present
TS20: foot Present Regionally restricted New expression was detected in the interdigital mesenchyme of the limb buds.
TS20: hand Present Regionally restricted New expression was detected in the interdigital mesenchyme of the limb buds.
TS20: tail somite Present Regionally restricted Expression was detected in the dorsal dermatome only in the tail somites.
