Results
Specimen 3A: embryonic day 18.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Gja1; blue - Gcna (assay MGI:6295496).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: ovary Present Regionally restricted 3A Expression in germinal cells distributed as linear aggregates mainly in the cortical region. Expression in aggregates of cells neart the rete ovarii, localized distally with respect to main population of germinal cells.

Specimen 3B: embryonic day 18.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Gja1; blue - Gcna (assay MGI:6295496).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: ovary Present Regionally restricted 3B Expression at homocellular junctions between parenchymal pregranulosa cells surrounding germinal cells. \Expression in aggregates of cells neart the rete ovarii, localized distally with respect to main population of germinal cells.

Specimen 3C: embryonic day 18.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Gja1; blue - Gcna (assay MGI:6295496).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: ovary Present Regionally restricted 3C Expression at homocellular junctions between parenchymal pregranulosa cells surrounding germinal cells, and at heterocellular contacts between germinal and pregranulosa cells. Expression also in aggregates near the rete ovarii, localized distally to main mass of germinal cells.

Specimen 3D: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Gja1; blue - Gcna (assay MGI:6295496).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: gonad Present Regionally restricted 3D Authors report expression betwen somatic cells at homocellular and at heterocellular junctions between germinal and somatic cells in sexually undifferentiated gonads.

Specimen 12.5 dpc not shown: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: Also stained for Gcna (assay MGI:6295496).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: ovary Present Regionally restricted Authors report expression at heterocellular junctions between germinal and somatic cells.

Specimen 3E: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Gja1; blue - Gcna (assay MGI:6295496).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: ovary Present Regionally restricted 3E Expression in precursors of granulosa cells. Expression at homocellular junctions between pregranulosa cells, and at heterocellular junctions between germinal and pregranulosa cells.
