Results
Specimen 2A: embryonic day 17.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: coronal suture Strong 2A
TS25: parietal bone Strong Regionally restricted 2A Expression is in the dorsal and ventral rims of the parietal bone.
TS25: cranium Present 2A Expression is in the cranial cartilage.
TS25: frontal suture Present Regionally restricted 2A Expression is in a sheet of mesenchymal cells.
TS25: sagittal suture Present Regionally restricted 2A Expression is in a sheet of mesenchymal cells.

Specimen 2B: embryonic day 17.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: coronal suture Strong 2B
TS25: parietal bone Strong Regionally restricted 2B Expression is in the dorsal and ventral rims of the parietal bone.

Specimen 2C: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: vault of skull Strong 2C

Specimen 2D: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: purple - Fgf18; orange - Spp1 (osteopontin; assay MGI:2665358).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: parietal bone Strong Regionally restricted 2D Expression is in the dorsal and ventral rims of the parietal bone. Double labeling with Osteopontin indicates that Fgf18 abuts Osteopontin expression but does not colocalize with it and is not in the sutural mesenchymal cells.
TS24: frontal bone Present 2D Double labeling with Osteopontin indicates that Fgf18 abuts Osteopontin expression but does not colocalize with it and is not in the sutural mesenchymal cells.
TS24: vault of skull Present 2D Double labeling with Osteopontin indicates that Fgf18 abuts Osteopontin expression but does not colocalize with it and is not in the sutural mesenchymal cells.

Specimen 2E: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: purple - Fgf18; orange - Spp1 (osteopontin; assay MGI:2665358). Tissue was embedded in 2% agar and a 100-micron-thick vibratome section was cut.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: vault of skull Strong Regionally restricted 2E Expression is in the cranial cartilage lying just medial to the parietal bone and posterior to the coronal sutures. Double labeling with Osteopontin indicates that Fgf18 abuts Osteopontin expression but does not colocalize with it.

Specimen 2F: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: purple - Fgf18; orange - Spp1 (osteopontin; assay MGI:2665358). Tissue was embedded in 2% agar and a 100-micron-thick vibratome section was cut.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: vault of skull Strong Regionally restricted 2F Expression is in the cranial cartilage lying just medial to the parietal bone and posterior to the coronal sutures. Double labeling with Osteopontin indicates that Fgf18 abuts Osteopontin expression but does not colocalize with it.

Specimen Not Shown: embryonic day 17.5 (more )
Note: Tissue was embedded in 2% agar and a 100-micron-thick vibratome section was cut.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: vault of skull Present Regionally restricted Expression is in the cranial cartilage. Double labeling with Osteopontin indicates that Fgf18 abuts Osteopontin expression but does not colocalize with it and also does not extend to the sutural mesenchymal cells between the two bones.

Specimen Not Shown: embryonic day 9.75 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS16: limb Absent

Specimen Not Shown: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: limb Absent
