Results
Specimen 5A: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: dermomyotome Very strong Regionally restricted 5A Expression is in the dorsomedial and ventrolateral portions.
TS17: neural tube lateral wall Present Regionally restricted 5A Expression is in a few cells in the subventricular zone.
TS17: mesenchyme derived from lateral plate Present 5A

Specimen 5B: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: spinal cord lateral wall Present Regionally restricted 5B Expression is in the subventricular zone.
TS20: spinal cord ventral horn Present Regionally restricted 5B Expression is in a subset of cells in the motor neuron pool.

Specimen 5C: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: ventral grey horn Present Regionally restricted 5C Expression is in motor neurons. Highest expression is in the cervical and thoracic regions.

Specimen 6C: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: basal columns Present Regionally restricted 6C Expression is in the medial motor cloumns at the level of the brachial spinal cord.

Specimen 7B: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: basal columns Present Regionally restricted 7B Expression is in a subset of neurons in the medial motor cloumns at the level of the cervical spinal cord.

Specimen 9B: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: skeletal musculature Present Regionally restricted 9B Expression is in a subset of the axial musculature. Expression is seen in the rhomboideus capitis, deltoids, and trapezius and is absent in the splenius capitis, cervicus capitis, rectus cervicis, and subcapsularis.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: mesenchyme derived from lateral plate Present
