Results
Specimen 1A: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Note: Less developed mammary buds. Triple labeled: green - Krt8; red - Krt14 (assay MGI:5827742); blue - Krt6 (assay MGI:5827731).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: mammary bud Absent 1A Absent in less developed mammary buds.
Specimen 1B: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Note: More advanced mammary buds. Triple labeled: green - Krt8; red - Krt14 (assay MGI:5827742); blue - Krt6 (assay MGI:5827731).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: mammary gland primordium Present 1B Present in more advanced mammary buds. Coexpressed in most Krt14+ cells.
Specimen 1D: embryonic day 18.5 (more )
Note: Triple labeled: green - Krt8; red - Krt14 (assay MGI:5827742); blue - Krt6 (assay MGI:5827731).
