Results
Specimen 7F: embryonic day 13.5; Pitx2tm1Kki/Pitx2+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: extrinsic ocular pre-muscle mass Present 7F Expression was detected in extraocular muscle.
TS21: cornea Present Regionally restricted 7F Expression was detected in the mesothelial layer of the cornea.

Specimen 7G: embryonic day 13.5; Pitx2tm1Kki/Pitx2tm1Kki (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: extrinsic ocular pre-muscle mass Absent 7G LacZ-positive cells could not be found in the extraocular muscle forming region.
TS21: cornea Present Regionally restricted 7G Thickening of the lacZ positive mesothelial layer of the cornea was seen between cuboidal epithelium making up the anterior part of the lens and cornea ectoderm.
