Results
Specimen 2A: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: olfactory epithelium Absent 2A , 2B
TS23: olfactory nerve Absent 2C , 2A No expression is seen in the nerve fiber layer.
TS23: main olfactory bulb Absent 2C , 2A No expression is seen in the deeper layers of the olfactory bulb.
TS23: nasal mesenchyme Present 2A , 2D , 2B , 2C
TS23: nasal septum cartilage Present 2D , 2C , 2A Expression is seen in the chondrocytes in the nasal cartilage.
TS23: head mesenchyme Strong 2D , 2A Expression is seen in the mesenchymal cells underlying the epidermis covering the head.
TS23: head skin Present Regionally restricted 2A Expression is seen in the dermis of the skin.

Specimen 3A: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: nasal mesenchyme Strong 3A
TS24: olfactory nerve Weak Single cells 3B , 3A Some weakly expressing cells are observed in the nerve fiber layer; they may be Schwann cells.
TS24: olfactory epithelium Absent 3B , 3A
TS24: nasal septum cartilage Strong 3B , 3A
TS24: main olfactory bulb Absent 3B , 3A No expression is seen in the deeper layers of the olfactory bulb.
TS24: nasal cavity lamina propria Weak 3B , 3A

Specimen 3C: embryonic day 18.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: olfactory nerve Present Single cells 3D , 3C Expression is seen in the entheathing cells surrounding nerve bundles in the olfatory nerve fiber layer, ie the Schwann cells. It is also localized to long fibrous bands in the nerve fiber layer.
TS26: nasal mesenchyme Present 3C
TS26: nasal septum cartilage Present Non-Uniform 3D , 3C Staining of chondrocytes in the nasal cartilage is decreased (weak) while strong staining remains in the perichondrium.

Specimen 3E: postnatal day 0.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: olfactory nerve Present 3E , 3F Expression is seen in the nerve fiber layer; it is observed in fibers that appear to be demarcating axon fasicicles in the olfactory nerve. There is weak expression in most cells, but some cells and fibrous bands have stronger staining.
TS27: olfactory epithelium Absent 3E
TS27: nasal septum cartilage Absent 3E , 3F

Specimen 5A: postnatal adult (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: main olfactory bulb external plexiform layer Present Punctate 5A Staining is observed in the cell perikarya.
TS28: main olfactory bulb glomerular layer Present Punctate 5A Staining is observed in the cell perikarya.
TS28: main olfactory bulb granule cell layer Present 5A , 5B Staining is observed in the cell perikarya. In a subset of cells, staining is seen in both the axons and dendrites.
TS28: main olfactory bulb subependymal zone Present Regionally restricted 5C , 5A Staining is observed in the axons located in the intermediate olfactory tract in the subependymal layer.
TS28: main olfactory bulb mitral cell layer Absent 5A
