Results
Specimen 1A: embryonic day 11.5; Bmp4tm2Blh/Bmp4+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: lung mesenchyme Strong Regionally restricted 1A Expression was seen in a wide swath of cells, with highest levels adjacent to the proximal epithelium and lower levels toward the periphery.

Specimen 1B,C,D: embryonic day 11.5; Bmp4tm2Blh/Bmp4+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: lung mesenchyme Strong Regionally restricted 1B , 1D , 1C Expression was detected in mesenchyme cells adjacent to main bronchi, proximal endoderm, and in interbud regions.

Specimen 1I,J: embryonic day 13.5; Bmp4tm2Blh/Bmp4+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: lung mesenchyme Present 1I , 1J The overall expression patterns are maintained at E13.5.

Specimen 1K: embryonic day 13.5; Bmp4tm2Blh/Bmp4+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
