Results
Specimen 2H: embryonic day 13.5; X/SryPOS (more )
Note: XY ovary. Double labeled: green - Sox9; red - Cdh1 (assay MGI:5646129).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: ovary Absent 2H

Specimen 3A: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Note: XY. Double labeled: green - Sox9; red - Cdh1 (assay MGI:5646129).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: urogenital ridge Present Regionally restricted 3A Expression was detected in Sertoli cell precursors in the center/anterior pole of the genital ridge.

Specimen 3B: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: XY. Double labeled: green - Sox9; red - Cdh1 (assay MGI:5646129).
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: Sertoli cell Sertoli cell Present Regionally restricted 3B Expression was detected in Sertoli cells found to enclose Cdh1-positive germ cells.

Specimen 3C: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Note: XY. Double labeled: green - Sox9; red - Cdh1 (assay MGI:5646129).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: primary sex cord Present Regionally restricted 3C All positive cells were incorporated into testis cords.

Specimen 3D: embryonic day 11.5; X/SryPOS (more )
Note: XY ovotestes. Double labeled: green - Sox9; red - Cdh1 (assay MGI:5646129).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: urogenital ridge Present 3D The onset of expression in the genital ridges was similar to the wild type.

Specimen 3E: embryonic day 12.5; X/SryPOS (more )
Note: XY ovotestes. Double labeled: green - Sox9; red - Cdh1 (assay MGI:5646129).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: urogenital ridge Present Regionally restricted 3E Expression was either not up-regulated (n=6) or was present in the center but not at the poles (n=8) of the genital ridge.

Specimen 3F: embryonic day 13.5; X/SryPOS (more )
Note: XY ovotestes. Double labeled: green - Sox9; red - Cdh1 (assay MGI:5646129).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: primary sex cord Present Regionally restricted 3F In the central region of the ovotestis, positive cells assembled into testicular cords, enclosing only those germ cells resident in this region.

Specimen 3H/I: embryonic day 12.5; X/SryPOS (more )
Note: XY ovotestes. Double labeled: green - Sox9; red - Sry (assay MGI:5646219).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: gonad Present Regionally restricted 3H , 3I Expression was up-regulated in the center, and in some cases at the posterior (this specimen) or anterior pole.

Specimen 5A left: embryonic day 14.5; X/SryPOS (more )
Note: XY ovotestes. Double labeled: green - Sox9; red - Cdh1 (assay MGI:5646129).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: primary sex cord Present Regionally restricted 5A left Expression was detected in the morphological testicular tissue in the center of the ovotestis.

Specimen 5B: embryonic day 13.5; X/SryPOS (more )
Note: XY ovotestes. Double labeled: green - Sox9; red - Foxl2 (assay MGI:5646132).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: primary sex cord Present Regionally restricted 5B Expression was detected in the morphological testicular tissue in the center of the ovotestis. Individual positive cells in this region did not co-express with Foxl2.
