Results
Specimen 7D: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: labyrinthine zone Strong Regionally restricted 7D Strong expression in multiple densely packed layers of the large blood fetal vessels at base of labyrinth.

Specimen 7E: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: labyrinthine zone Present Regionally restricted 7E Expression in smaller fetal blood vessels as they branched and penetrated throughout labyrinth, right up to the border with the spongiotrophoblast layer.

Specimen 7F: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: labyrinthine zone Present Regionally restricted 7F Expression in smaller fetal blood vessels scattered fairly evenly throughout the labyrinth. No expression associated with maternal blood spaces in the labyrinth

Specimen 7G: embryonic day 11.5; Cited2tm1Jpmb/Cited2tm1Jpmb (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: labyrinthine zone Weak Regionally restricted 7G Expression in wall of large fetal blood vessels at base of labyrinth. Authors report density of expressing cells was clearly reduced and cells were less well organlized.

Specimen 7H: embryonic day 11.5; Cited2tm1Jpmb/Cited2tm1Jpmb (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: labyrinthine zone Weak Regionally restricted 7H Expression in smaller blood vessels traversing throughout labyrinth. Authors report densitiy of expressing cells was also greatly reduced.

Specimen 7I: embryonic day 11.5; Cited2tm1Jpmb/Cited2tm1Jpmb (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: labyrinthine zone Weak Regionally restricted 7I Expressing scattered clumps of cells throughout the labyrinth. Authors reprot the overall number of clumps was reduced, indicating reduced density of fetal blood vessels.
