Results
Specimen 1A: embryonic day 11.0; Msx1tm1Bero/Msx1+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS18: trunk mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 1A Expression was detected in the dorsal mesenchyme in the back of the trunk. The signal was seen on either side of the neural tube, exhibits a segmental pattern, and extends over 15-20 segments from the first cervical vertebra to the level of the hindlimb.
TS18: neural tube Strong 1A

Specimen 1C: embryonic day 13.0; Msx1tm1Bero/Msx1+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: trunk mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 1C Expression was detected in the dorsal mesenchyme. Expression was most pronounced at the level of the forelimbs.

Specimen 1D: embryonic day 14.0; Msx1tm1Bero/Msx1+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: trunk mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 1D Expression was still detectable at the level of the forelimbs.

Specimen 2A: embryonic day 12.0; Msx1tm1Bero/Msx1+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: trunk mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 2A Expression was detected in stripes corresponding to one vertebral condensation.

Specimen 2B: embryonic day 13.0; Msx1tm1Bero/Msx1+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: trunk mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 2B Positive cells form stripes in phase with the somite.

Specimen 3A & 3B: embryonic day 14.0; Msx1tm1Bero/Msx1+ (more )
Note: Fig. 3B is a higher magnification of the boxed area in Fig. 3A.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: trunk mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 3B , 3A Expression was detected in a few cells deep in the dorsal mesenchyme. Expression was restricted to a narrow region just above the central part of the neural tube.

Specimen 7A: embryonic day 11.0; Msx1tm1Bero/Msx1+, Pax3Sp/Pax3Sp (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS18: trunk mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 7A Expression was found in dorsal mesenchyme as in wild type embryos.

Specimen 7B: embryonic day 13.0; Msx1tm1Bero/Msx1+, Pax3Sp/Pax3Sp (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: trunk mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 7B Expression was found in dorsal mesenchyme as in wild type embryos.

Specimen 8A: embryonic day 11.0; Msx1tm1Bero/Msx1+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS18: trunk mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 8A Expression was detected in the dorsal mesenchyme overlying the neural tube and extending laterally to the most medial region of the somite.

Specimen 8C: embryonic day 12.0; Msx1tm1Bero/Msx1+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: trunk mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 8C Expression was detected in dorsal mesenchyme. In the lateral part of the expression domain, expression was deeper in the mesenchyme at E12 than at E11.

Specimen 8E: embryonic day 13.0; Msx1tm1Bero/Msx1+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: trunk mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 8E Expression was detected deeper in the mesenchymal cell layer.
