Specimen not shown: embryonic day 12.5; Runx2tm1Mjo/Runx2+ (more )
Note: Embryos were embedded in plastic.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: radius-ulna pre-cartilage condensation Present Regionally restricted Expression was detected primarily in the perichondrium and, to a lesser degree, in chondrocytes.

Note: Embryos were embedded in plastic.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: humerus Present Regionally restricted 3B Expression was detected in chondrocytes in the upper hypertrophic zone and in calcified chondrocytes of the lower hypertrophic zone and into the transition zone. Expression was patchy in the proliferative zone. No expression was in the resting zone.

Specimen not shown: postnatal; Runx2tm1Mjo/Runx2+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: bone Ambiguous Mature bone is practically devoid of staining.
