Results
Specimen 4b: embryonic day 15.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: pelvic ganglion Present 4b

Specimen 5a/b/c +/+: postnatal week 1-2 (more )
Note: Bladders were opened ventrally. Quantified in Fig 5d.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: pelvic ganglion Present 5a +/+
TS28: nerve of bladder fundus Present 5c +/+ , 5a +/+ , 5b +/+
TS28: nerve of bladder neck Present 5b +/+ , 5a +/+

Specimen 5a/b/c -/-: postnatal week 1-2; Lrig2tm1.1Hhed/Lrig2tm1.1Hhed (more )
Note: Bladders were opened ventrally. Quantified in Fig 5d.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: nerve of bladder neck Present 5a -/- , 5b -/- Large nerve bundles in the bladder base continuous with the pelvic ganglia appeared to be less compactly bundled in the mutant.
TS28: nerve of bladder fundus Present 5b -/- , 5c -/- , 5a -/- Increased density of smaller nerves in the bladder body, compared with the wild-type.
TS28: pelvic ganglion Present 5a -/-

Specimen 6e +/+: postnatal week 1 (more )
Note: Bladders were opened ventrally. Quantified in Fig 6f.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: nerve of bladder fundus Present 6e +/+

Specimen 6e -/-: postnatal week 1; Hpse2Gt(OST441123)Lex/Hpse2Gt(OST441123)Lex (more )
Note: Bladders were opened ventrally. Quantified in Fig 6f.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: nerve of bladder fundus Present 6e -/- Bundles of positive nerves in bladder body appeared more prominent in Hpse2 mutants than in control bladders.

Specimen 7a WT: postnatal week 2 (more )
Note: Bladders were opened ventrally. Quantified in Fig 7b.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: pelvic ganglion Present 7a WT Peripherin
TS28: nerve of bladder neck Present 7a WT Peripherin Immunostaining revealed ganglia flanking the outflow tract, with prominent nerve bundles between them, lying in the dorsal side of the outflow.

Specimen 7a Lrig2-/-: postnatal week 2; Lrig2tm1.1Hhed/Lrig2tm1.1Hhed (more )
Note: Bladders were opened ventrally. Quantified in Fig 7b.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: pelvic ganglion Present 7a Lrig2-/- Peripherin
TS28: nerve of bladder neck Present 7a Lrig2-/- Peripherin A spectrum of aberrations was observed, from disorganized to almost absent positive nerves.

Specimen 7a Hpse2-/-: postnatal week 2; Hpse2Gt(OST441123)Lex/Hpse2Gt(OST441123)Lex (more )
Note: Bladders were opened ventrally. Quantified in Fig 7b.
