Results
Specimen 4A: embryonic day 8.0 (more )
Note: 7-8 somites.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: embryo Present Regionally restricted 4A Expression was diffuse in the extreme caudal portion of the embryo.
TS12: allantois Present Regionally restricted 4A Highest expression level was found at the base of the allantois.
TS12: lateral plate mesoderm Present 4A

Specimen 4B: embryonic day 8.5 (more )
Note: 8-9 somites.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: embryo Present Regionally restricted 4B Staining spread to more anterior levels encompassing a larger area than that at the previous stage. Anterior boundary staining was still weak and restricted to a region posterior to the limit of somite condensation.
TS13: neural ectoderm Present Regionally restricted 4B Expression in the mesoderm appeared to be stronger and extended to more anterior levels than in the neurectoderm at this stage.
TS13: embryo mesoderm Present Regionally restricted 4B Expression in the mesoderm appeared to be stronger and extended to more anterior levels than in the neurectoderm at this stage.
TS13: lateral plate mesoderm Present 4B

Specimen 4C: embryonic day 8.5 (more )
Note: 10-12 somites.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: neural tube Present Regionally restricted 4C A more anterior expression boundary was found in the neural tube than in the mesoderm. The anterior boundary of expression in the neural tube was found at the level of the 9th or 10th somite.
TS13: embryo mesoderm Present Regionally restricted 4C A more anterior expression boundary was noted in the neural tube than in the mesoderm. Expression in the mesoderm was located more posterior in the still unsegmented region of the embryo.
TS13: lateral plate mesoderm Present 4C

Specimen 4D: embryonic day 9.0 (more )
Note: 16-17 somites.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS14: tail bud Present 4D Expression extended through the entire tail bud.
TS14: paraxial mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 4D Expression was detected in the paraxial mesoderm with an anterior boundary at the 14th somite.
TS14: neural tube Present Regionally restricted 4D Expression in the neural tube extended up to the 8th somite. Staining intensified in the region immediately posterior to the 9th somite, coincident with the definitive boundary of expression in the neural tube.
TS14: mesenchyme derived from lateral plate Present Regionally restricted 4D Expression in lateral plate mesoderm extended to more anterior levels up to the region of the future forelimb bud.

Specimen 4E: embryonic day 9.0 (more )
Note: 17-18 somites.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS14: tail bud Present Regionally restricted 4E A posterior expression boundary due to down regulation emerged in the tailbud region.
TS14: mesenchyme derived from lateral plate Present Regionally restricted 4E Expression in lateral plate mesoderm extended to more anterior levels up to the region of the future forelimb bud.

Specimen 4F: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: tail Present Regionally restricted 4F Staining in tail gradually moved to more anterior positions.
TS15: neural tube Present Regionally restricted 4F The posterior expression boundary in the neural tube moved progressively forward. At E9.5 expression extended from the level of somite 10-17.

Specimen 4G: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: tail Present Regionally restricted 4G Staining in tail gradually moved to more anterior positions. Downregulation was not complete; residual staining was observed at the tip of the tailbud.
TS15: paraxial mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 4G The expression domain in the paraxial mesoderm spanned 7 to 8 somites. Expression was robust from somite 14-20, whereas weak staining was observed in the 13th and occasionally in the 21st somite.
TS15: neural tube Present Regionally restricted 4G The posterior expression boundary in the neural tube moved progressively forward. At E9.5 expression extended from the level of somite 10-17.
TS15: migrating neural crest migratory neural crest cell Present Regionally restricted 4G Stained migratory neural crest cells were observed adjacent to the Hoxc8-positive neural tube.
TS15: forelimb bud Present Ubiquitous 4G Expression encompassed the entire forelimb bud.

Specimen 4H: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: paraxial mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 4H The expression domain in the paraxial mesoderm was maintained.
TS15: neural tube Present Regionally restricted 4H The posterior expression boundary in the neural tube moved progressively forward. At E9.5 expression extended from the level of somite 10-17.
TS15: migrating neural crest migratory neural crest cell Present 4H

Specimen 4I: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
