Results
Specimen not shown: embryonic day 15.5; Nkx2-3tm1Rph/Nkx2-3+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: sublingual gland Present

Specimen 1B: embryonic day 18.5; Nkx2-3tm1Rph/Nkx2-3+ (more )
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: sublingual gland Present Regionally restricted 1B Expression is seen in most proacinar cells, as well as some duct cells.
TS26: sublingual gland acinar cell of salivary gland Present Regionally restricted 1B Expression is seen in most proacinar cells, as well as some duct cells.
TS26: submandibular gland Absent 1B

Specimen 1C: embryonic day 18.5; Nkx2-3tm1Rph/Nkx2-3tm1Rph (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: sublingual gland Present Regionally restricted 1C The number of expressing cells is reduced in the mutant; the tissue has disrupted morphology and disorganized mucous acinar cells.

Specimen 1D: postnatal day 5; Nkx2-3tm1Rph/Nkx2-3+ (more )
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: sublingual gland Present Regionally restricted 1D Expression is seen in most proacinar cells, as well as some duct cells.
TS28: sublingual gland acinar cell of salivary gland Present Regionally restricted 1D Expression is seen in most proacinar cells, as well as some duct cells.

Specimen 1E: postnatal day 5; Nkx2-3tm1Rph/Nkx2-3tm1Rph (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: sublingual gland Present Regionally restricted 1E The number of expressing cells is reduced in the mutant; the tissue has disrupted morphology and disorganized mucous acinar cells.

Specimen 1F: postnatal day 21; Nkx2-3tm1Rph/Nkx2-3+ (more )
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: sublingual gland Present Regionally restricted 1F Expression is seen in most proacinar cells, as well as some duct cells.
TS28: sublingual gland acinar cell of salivary gland Present Regionally restricted 1F Expression is seen in most proacinar cells, as well as some duct cells.

Specimen 1G: postnatal day 21; Nkx2-3tm1Rph/Nkx2-3tm1Rph (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
