Results
Specimen 1A,B,C: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: cochlea Present Non-Uniform 1A , 1B , 1C Expression was detected in the presumptive inner hair cells, strongly in the basal turn (C) and at a low level in the mid-basal turn (B).
TS23: cochlea epithelium Present Regionally restricted 1A , 1B Expression was restricted to cells near the lumen.

Specimen 1N,O: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Note: Triple labeled: blue - Dll3; red - Nefm (assay MGI:5547530); green - Cdkn1b (assay MGI:5547532).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: cochlea Present Regionally restricted 1N , 1O Expression was detected in the presumptive inner hair cells.

Specimen 2A,C: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: cochlea Absent 2A , 2C

Specimen 3A,G: embryonic day 17.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: cochlea Present Regionally restricted 3A , 3G There was a base-to-apex gradient of expression in hair cells that extended to the middle turn. Expression level was low in inner hair cells and stronger in outer hair cells in the basal turn.

Specimen 4A,C: postnatal day 0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: cochlea Present Regionally restricted 4C , 4A Levels are strongest in the most apical hair cells, but expression is low or undetectable in hair cells in the more basal regions. Expression is stronger in outer hair cells than inner hair cells. Expression was present in the middle turn.

Specimen not shown P3: postnatal day 3 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: organ of Corti Present Regionally restricted Expression was detected in hair cells only in the most apical turn of the organ of Corti. Expression was absent from all hair cells in the middle and basal turns.

Specimen not shown P5: postnatal day 5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: cochlea Absent
TS28: retina Present
