Results
Specimen 4A 1A: embryonic day 8.5; Prox1tm1Gco/Prox1+ (more )
Note: This embryo contains 9-10 somites. Double labeled: brown - Prox1; blue - Foxa2 (assay MGI:3529577). After whole mount staining, this embryo was embedded in gelatin and sucrose for cryosectioning.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: hindgut diverticulum Present Regionally restricted 4A 1A Expression is present in the endoderm of the dorsal hindgut.
Specimen 4A 2A: embryonic day 8.5; Prox1tm1Gco/Prox1+ (more )
Note: This embryo contains 9-10 somites. Double labeled: brown - Prox1; blue - Foxa2 (assay MGI:3529577). After whole mount staining, this embryo was embedded in gelatin and sucrose for cryosectioning.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: hindgut diverticulum Present Regionally restricted 4A 2A Expression is present in the endoderm of the dorsal hindgut.
