Results
Specimen 2A: embryonic day 3.0 (more )
Note: Uncompacted morulae.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS3: 8-cell stage embryo Absent 2A

Specimen 2B: embryonic day 3.5 (more )
Note: Compacted morulae.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS4: compacted morula Present 2B Expression is present in 12% of compacted morula nuclei. Practically speaking, this is generally one positive cell per morula, although one observed morula contained seven strongly positive cells.

Specimen 2C: embryonic day 4.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS5: trophectoderm Present 2C Expression is present in 25% of the trophectoderm cells.

Specimen 2D: embryonic day 4.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS5: inner cell mass Present 2D Expression is present in 15% of the inner cell mass cells.

Specimen 3A: embryonic day 5.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS7: ectoplacental cone Strong 3A
TS7: parietal endoderm Strong 3A
TS7: extraembryonic visceral endoderm Strong Regionally restricted 3A Expression is present in the visceral endoderm that surrounds the embryo.
TS7: embryo Absent 3A There is no expression in the embryonic ectoderm.
TS28: decidua Absent 3A

Specimen 3B: embryonic day 6.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS9: extraembryonic visceral endoderm Present 3B Expression is present in the distal visceral endoderm.
TS9: parietal endoderm Present 3B

Specimen 3C: embryonic day 7.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS10: extraembryonic visceral endoderm Present Regionally restricted 3C Expression levels are high in the proximal visceral endoderm, whereas expression in the distal visceral endoerm is reduced from what was seen earlier in development.
TS10: parietal endoderm Present 3C Expression levels are reduced from what was seen earlier in development.
TS10: ectoplacental cone Strong 3C

Specimen 3D: embryonic day 7.2 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS10: extraembryonic visceral endoderm Present Regionally restricted 3D Expression levels are high in the proximal visceral endoderm, whereas expression in the distal visceral endoerm is reduced from what was seen earlier in development.
TS10: parietal endoderm Present 3D Expression levels are reduced from what was seen earlier in development.
TS10: ectoplacental cone Strong 3D

Specimen 3E: embryonic day 7.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: extraembryonic visceral endoderm Present Regionally restricted 3E Expression levels are high in the proximal visceral endoderm, while there is no detectable expression in the distal visceral endoderm.
TS11: parietal endoderm Absent 3E
TS11: trophectoderm Present Regionally restricted 3E Expression is found in some, but not all, secondary giant trophoblast cells.
TS11: chorion Strong 3E
TS11: amnion Absent 3E
TS11: embryo ectoderm Absent 3E
TS11: embryo mesenchyme Absent 3E

Specimen Not shown: embryonic day 8.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: extraembryonic component Present Regionally restricted The pattern of expression seen in extraembryonic tissues remains unchanged from what was seen at E7.5.
