Specimen 2H: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: upper jaw molar epithelium Present Regionally restricted 2H Expression generally restricted to epithelial structures. Expression more extensive on lingual side. Strongest expression in internal dental epithelium and intermediate stratum.
TS23: stratum intermedium Strong 2H
TS23: stellate reticulum Present 2H Expression also extends into varying portions of stellate reticulum.

Specimen 2I: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: lower jaw molar epithelium Present Regionally restricted 2I Expression generally restricted to epithelial structures. Expression more extensive on lingual side. Strongest expression in internal dental epithelium and intermediate stratum.
TS23: stratum intermedium Strong 2I
TS23: stellate reticulum Present 2I Expression also extends into varying portions of stellate reticulum.

Specimen 2J: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: hair epidermal placode Present Regionally restricted 2J Expression generally restricted to distal end of epithlelial downgrowth, within concave basal border cells contacting dermal condensate.

Specimen 2K: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: palatal rugae epithelium Present 2K Expression generally restricted to small, thickened regions of palatal oral epithelium known as rugae.

Specimen 2L: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: lower eyelid epithelium Present Regionally restricted 2L Following fusion, expression in basal layer of eyelid epithelium originating from both upper and lower lid primordia. Expression restricted to small patch of basal layer eyelid epithelium on corneal side.
TS23: upper eyelid epithelium Present Regionally restricted 2L Following fusion, expression in basal layer of eyelid epithelium originating from both upper and lower lid primordia. Expression restricted to small patch of basal layer eyelid epithelium on corneal side.

Specimen 2M: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: neural retina Present Regionally restricted 2M Expression restricted to differentiated cell layer, consistent with its expression by retinal ganglion cells.
TS23: eye anterior segment Absent 2M No expression in stroma of iris.

Specimen 2N: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: retina ganglion cell layer Weak 2N Expression segregated to differentiated cell layer where retinal ganglion cells are located.
