Results
Specimen not shown: embryonic day 10.0; Fbxw4Dac/Fbxw4Dac, mdac/mdac (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS16: forelimb bud Present Expression was normal in the mutant at E10.0.
TS16: hindlimb bud Present Expression was normal in the mutant at E10.0.

Specimen 4A: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: forelimb bud apical ectodermal ridge Strong Widespread 4A Strong expression was observed throughout the apical ectodermal ridge.
TS17: hindlimb bud apical ectodermal ridge Strong Widespread 4A Strong expression was observed throughout the apical ectodermal ridge.

Specimen 4B: embryonic day 10.5; Fbxw4Dac/Fbxw4+, mdac/mdac (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: forelimb bud apical ectodermal ridge Present Regionally restricted 4B There was an absence of staining in the central third of the apical ectodermal ridge frequently observed, but the pattern was highly variable.
TS17: hindlimb bud apical ectodermal ridge Present 4B Expression was unaltered in the hindlimb.

Specimen 4C: embryonic day 10.5; Fbxw4Dac/Fbxw4Dac, mdac/mdac (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: forelimb bud apical ectodermal ridge Present Regionally restricted 4C Expression was absent from the majority of the apical ectodermal ridge except for the most posterior and anterior regions.
TS17: hindlimb bud apical ectodermal ridge Present 4C Expression was unaltered in the hindlimb.

Specimen 4D: embryonic day 11.0; Fbxw4Dac/Fbxw4Dac, mdac/mdac (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS18: hindlimb bud apical ectodermal ridge Present Regionally restricted 4D In hindlimbs at E11.0, only anterior and posterior expression domains were observed in the apical ectodermal ridge.

Specimen 4E: embryonic day 11.0; Fbxw4Dac/Fbxw4Dac, mdac/mdac (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: forelimb bud apical ectodermal ridge Present Regionally restricted 4E In forelimbs at E11.0, only the posterior expression domains were observed in the apical ectodermal ridge.

Specimen 4F: embryonic day 11.5; Fbxw4Dac/Fbxw4+, mdac/mdac (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: handplate apical ectodermal ridge Present Patchy 4F A nonhomogeneous expression pattern was observed with regions of no or weak expression.
