Results
Specimen whole mount: embryonic day 15.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: renal cortex Present 2_Bmp4 whole-mount Authors state that expression was detected mostly in the cortex.

Specimen cryosection: embryonic day 15.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: mesenchyme of metanephros Present Regionally restricted 2_Bmp4 cryosection Strongly expressed by uninduced mesenchymal cells in the nephrogenic zone. Fainter signal within the medullary interstitial compartment. Expressed in the mesenchyme adjacent to the ureteric bud tips and in the tips themselves.
TS23: renal medullary interstitium Present Regionally restricted 2_Bmp4 cryosection Strongly expressed by uninduced mesenchymal cells in the nephrogenic zone. Fainter signal within the medullary interstitial compartment. Expressed in the mesenchyme adjacent to the ureteric bud tips and in the tips themselves.
TS23: ureter Present Regionally restricted 2_Bmp4 cryosection Strongly expressed by uninduced mesenchymal cells in the nephrogenic zone. Fainter signal within the medullary interstitial compartment. Expressed in the mesenchyme adjacent to the ureteric bud tips and in the tips themselves.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 12.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: metanephros Present Regionally restricted Authors report similar results to that obtained at E15.
