Results
Specimen 1A: embryonic day 4.0 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Pdgfra; red - Gata4 (assay MGI:5776181).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS5: inner cell mass Present Regionally restricted 1A merge , 1A PDGFra Expression is localized to the primitive endoderm layer of the blastocyst; it co-localized with another expression marker for this layer.

Specimen 1B: embryonic day 4.5; Pdgfratm11(EGFP)Sor/? (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Pdgfra protein; green - Pdgfra reporter (assay MGI:5776158).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS6: primitive endoderm Present 1B GFP , 1B PDGFRa Expression is localized to the primitive endoderm layer of the blastocyst; endogenous protein expression co-localizes with reporter expression.

Specimen S1A: embryonic day 3.5; Pdgfratm11(EGFP)Sor/? (more )
Note: 32-cell embryo; double labeled: red - Pdgfra protein; green - Pdgfra reporter (assay MGI:5776158).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS4: compacted morula Absent S1A 3D merge , S1A sxn merge , S1A Pdgfra Reporter expression preceeds observable protein expression.

Specimen S1B: embryonic day 3.5; Pdgfratm11(EGFP)Sor/? (more )
Note: 33-cell embryo; double labeled: red - Pdgfra protein; green - Pdgfra reporter (assay MGI:5776158).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS4: inner cell mass Present Single cells S1B sxn merge , S1B Pdgfra , S1B 3D merge The endogenous protein is weakly expressed in a subset of the reporter expressing cells.

Specimen S1C: embryonic day 4.0; Pdgfratm11(EGFP)Sor/? (more )
Note: 61-cell embryo; double labeled: red - Pdgfra protein; green - Pdgfra reporter (assay MGI:5776158).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS5: inner cell mass Present Single cells S1C sxn merge , S1C 3D merge , S1C Pdgfra Endogenous protein expression co-localizes with reporter expression.
