Results
Specimen 5C: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Note: Tissues were embedded in Epon 812.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: dorsal pancreatic duct Present Single cells 5C Before islet formation; interstitial cluster of intermingled insulin- and glucagon-expressing cells .
Specimen 5D: postnatal day 1 (more )
Note: Tissues were embedded in Epon 812.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: dorsal pancreatic duct Present Single cells 5D Islet of Langerhans with glucagon-expressing cells; note one glucagon-expressing cell in epithelium of an adjacent duct.
Specimen 6C: embryonic day 17.5 (more )
Note: Tissues were embedded in Epon 812.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: ventral pancreatic duct Present Single cells 6C Glucagon and PP co-expression in one ductal cell; two other cells in the same duct appear to contain only variable levels of PP.
