Results
Specimen 6A/C: embryonic day 19.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: thyroid gland Present Scattered 6C , 6A Eventually distributed throughout the thyroid lobes.

Specimen 6B/D: embryonic day 19.0; Nkx2-1tm1Shk/Nkx2-1+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: thyroid gland Present Regionally restricted 6D , 6B Expressed in the ultimobranchial body cells, which appeared to be incompletely incorporated into the thyroid diverticulum and remained at the dorsal part of the thyroid lobe.

Specimen 6E: postnatal month 10; Nkx2-1tm1Shk/Nkx2-1+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: thyroid gland Strong Regionally restricted 6E Expressed in some cells lining the vesicles and strong expression found in clumps of cells localized in the vicinity of the vesicles. No expression in the thyroid lobe.

Specimen 7B: embryonic day 19.0; Nkx2-1tm1Shk/Nkx2-1+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: thyroid gland Present Clusters 7B Expressed in clusters of C-cell precursors.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 19.0; Nkx2-1tm1Shk/Nkx2-1tm1Shk (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: thyroid gland Absent
