Results
Specimen 1E WT: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: extraembryonic component pericyte Present Regionally restricted 1E WT ACTA2 Expression was detected in mural cells (pericytes) that surround the fetal endothelial cells in the placenta.

Specimen 1E Usp22-/-: embryonic day 12.5; Usp22Gt(RRS377)Byg/Usp22Gt(RRS377)Byg (more )
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: extraembryonic component pericyte Present Regionally restricted 1E Usp22-/- ACTA2 Staining was misorganized in the mutants.
