Results
Specimen 2A,2B: embryonic day 8.5 (more )
Note: 8 somites.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: trunk somite Present 2A;B Expression was detected in all somites.
TS12: future spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 2A;B Expression was detected in the caudal neurectoderm.
TS12: future spinal cord neural fold Present Regionally restricted 2A;B Expression signal was most intense in the neural folds around the rostral part of the posterior neuropore, weaker around its caudal part.
TS12: neural tube Present Regionally restricted 2A;B Signal was weaker rostrally in the recently closed neural tube.
TS12: future hindbrain Present Regionally restricted 2A;B Signal in the neural tube extended up to a rostral limit beyond the first somite, approximately halfway into the hindbrain, where it faded out.
TS12: embryo ectoderm Present Regionally restricted 2A;B Expression was absent from the headfolds.

Specimen 2C: embryonic day 8.5 (more )
Note: 8 somites.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: future spinal cord neural plate Present Regionally restricted 2C Expression was detected throughout the entire width of the neural plate and tube. Expression was more intense where tube was not yet closed. Signal was stronger near the lumen of the tube.
TS12: neural tube Present Regionally restricted 2C Expression was detected throughout the entire width of the neural plate and tube. Expression was more intense where tube was not yet closed. Signal was stronger near the lumen of the tube.
TS12: trunk unsegmented mesenchyme Present 2C

Specimen 2D: embryonic day 8.5 (more )
Note: 8 somites.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: future spinal cord neural plate Present Regionally restricted 2D Expression was detected throughout the entire width of the neural plate and tube. Expression was more intense where tube was not yet closed. Signal was stronger near the lumen of the tube.
TS12: neural tube Present Regionally restricted 2D Expression was detected throughout the entire width of the neural plate and tube. Expression was more intense where tube was not yet closed. Signal was stronger near the lumen of the tube.
TS12: trunk unsegmented mesenchyme Present 2D

Specimen 2E: embryonic day 8.75 (more )
Note: 14 somites.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS14: future spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 2E Expression in the germinative neuroepithelium has shifted caudally to the level between somites 12 and 14.
TS14: trunk somite Present Regionally restricted 2E Staining of somites changed according to rostrocaudal gradient of development; caudal somites were labelled throughout their width.
TS14: trunk dermomyotome Present Regionally restricted 2E There was progressive concentration in the newly formed dermomyotome rostrally.
