Results
Specimen 2A: embryonic day 7.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS11: embryo Absent 2A

Specimen 2B: embryonic day 8.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: posterior cardinal vein Present Regionally restricted 2B Expression was detected in the endothelium of the posterior cardinal vein.
TS13: allantois Present 2B

Specimen 2C: embryonic day 8.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: head mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 2C Expression was detected in angioblasts of the head mesenchyme.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 8.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: dorsal aorta Absent
TS13: heart Absent

Specimen 2D: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: placenta Present Regionally restricted 2D Expression was detected in endothelial cells of venous lacunae.
TS15: extraembryonic venous system Present Regionally restricted 2D Expression was detected in peripheral sinusoidal veins.

Specimen 2E: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: dorsal aorta Absent 2E
TS19: arterial system Ambiguous 2E Staining in the arterial endothelia was very weak, if at all.
TS19: venous system Present 2E Expression was detected in the developing veins. The veins surrounding the developing metanephros were noted.
TS19: subcardinal vein Present 2E

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: anterior cardinal vein Present

Specimen 3A/B: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: blood vessel Present Regionally restricted 3A/B Expression was detected in a dilated vessel in the axillar region, in a plexus of vessels in the periorbital region, surrounding the developing vertebrae, and in a vascular network beneath the skin. Weak capillary signals were noted in several regions.
TS20: liver Present Spotted 3A/B

Specimen 4A/B: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: lymphatic system Present Regionally restricted 4A/B Expression was detected in endothelial cells of the thoracic duct. Dilated vessels in the mesenteric region, and vessel networks in the periorbital, lower jaw, and neck regions were positive. The absence of red blood cells indicated lymphatic endothelium.
TS22: dorsal aorta Absent 4A/B
TS22: inferior vena cava Absent 4A/B

Specimen 4D: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: lymphatic system Present Scattered 4D Expression was detected in endothelial cells of the thoracic duct and a small vessel in the vicinity.
