Specimen 2G: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: renal cortex Present Regionally restricted 2G Expression is present in the mesangial cells in the kidney.

Specimen 2J: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: lung mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 2J Expression is present in the mesenchyme around developing airways. There is also weak expression in the vascular smooth muscle cells surrounding developing lung arterial branches.

Specimen 2M: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: gut Present Regionally restricted 2M Expression is present in the gut wall at the site of the developing smooth muscle cell layers. It is not present in the inner mesenchymal layer.

Specimen 3A: embryonic day 14.5; Pdgfbtm1Cbet/Pdgfb+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: brain Present Regionally restricted 3A Expression is present in pericytes in the brain.

Specimen 3B: embryonic day 14.5; Pdgfbtm1Cbet/Pdgfbtm1Cbet (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: brain Present Regionally restricted 3B Expression is present in pericytes in the brain; a few of these persist in the mutant.

Specimen 3G: embryonic day 14.5; Pdgfbtm1Cbet/Pdgfb+ (more )
Note: Double labeled with isolectin (brown).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
