Specimen 5A': embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Note: Control was either Rdh10+/+ or Rdh10trex/+. Triple labeled: red - Hnf4a; green - Gata4 (assay MGI:7378255); white - Isl1 (assay MGI:7378256).
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: hepatic primordium hepatoblast Present Regionally restricted 5A' HNF4a-positive hepatoblasts are distributed throughout the GATA4-positive hepatic mesoderm of both the rostral lobe (blue asterisk) and the smaller caudal lobes (yellow asterisks).

Specimen 5B': embryonic day 10.5; Rdh10trex/Rdh10trex (more )
Note: Triple labeled: red - Hnf4a; green - Gata4 (assay MGI:7378255); white - Isl1 (assay MGI:7378256).
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: hepatic primordium hepatoblast Present 5B' Defects in the caudal lobe were noted.
