Results
Specimen 4E: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Note: Fixation was either 10% neutral buffered formalin or 4% paraformaldehyde. Embedding was either in paraffin or OCT (cryosection).
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: lens lens epithelial cell Present 4E Expression was localized in the nuclei and cytoplasm of epithelial cells.
TS21: lens Present Regionally restricted 4E Expression was localized in the nuclei and cytoplasm of transitional zone cells.
TS21: lens fiber lens fiber cell Weak Regionally restricted 4E Expression decreased rapidly in differentiating fiber cells below the equator.

Specimen 4F: embryonic day 13.5; Ctnnb1tm1Mmt/Ctnnb1tm1Mmt, Tg(Cryaa-cre,Tyr)39Mlr/0 (more )
Note: Conditional mutant. Fixation was either 10% neutral buffered formalin or 4% paraformaldehyde. Embedding was either in paraffin or OCT (cryosection).
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: lens lens epithelial cell Present 4F Expression was localized in the nuclei and cytoplasm of epithelial cells.
TS21: lens Present Regionally restricted 4F Expression was localized in the nuclei and cytoplasm of transitional zone cells.
TS21: lens fiber lens fiber cell Weak Regionally restricted 4F Expression decreased rapidly in differentiating fiber cells below the equator.

Specimen 4G: embryonic day 13.5; Ctnnb1tm1Mmt/Ctnnb1tm1Mmt, Tg(Cryaa-cre)10Mlr/0 (more )
Note: Conditional mutant. Fixation was either 10% neutral buffered formalin or 4% paraformaldehyde. Embedding was either in paraffin or OCT (cryosection).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: lens Present Widespread 4G Nuclear expression was detected in all cells of the BetaCat<Ex3>10 lens.
TS21: lens fiber Present Regionally restricted 4G Expression was detected in the epithelioid cells in the fiber cell compartment.

Specimen 4H: embryonic day 13.5; Apctm1Tno/Apctm1Tno, Tg(Cryaa-cre)10Mlr/0 (more )
Note: Conditional mutant. Fixation was either 10% neutral buffered formalin or 4% paraformaldehyde. Embedding was either in paraffin or OCT (cryosection).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: lens Present Widespread 4H Nuclear expression was detected in all cells of the APC10 lens.
TS21: lens fiber Present Regionally restricted 4H Expression was detected in the epithelioid cells in the fiber cell compartment.
