Results
Specimen not shown: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: mandible Absent

Specimen 2c: embryonic day 15.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: mandible Present Regionally restricted 2c Slight expression was noted in periosteal osteogenic cells. Expression was detected in hypertrophic chondrocytes of the cartilage matrix.

Specimen 3c & 4a: embryonic day 16.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: mandible Present Regionally restricted 4a , 3c Expression was detected in the chondrocytes from the lower polymorphic cell layer to the bottom of the hypertrophic cell layer of the condylar cartilage, but not in the fibrous cell layer. Slight expression was noted in the periosteal osteogenic cells.

Specimen 5c: embryonic day 18.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: mandible Ambiguous 5c Expression disappeared in the chondrocytes of the lower half of the hypertrophic cell layer of the condylar cartilage of the mandible.

Specimen 6c: embryonic day 13.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: tibia-fibula pre-cartilage condensation Present Regionally restricted 6c Expression was restricted to the chondrocytes and was not detected in the osteogenic cells.

Specimen 6h: embryonic day 14.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: tibia cartilage condensation Present Regionally restricted 6h Expression was detected in the chondrocytes of the cartilage.
