Results
Specimen 4A: embryonic day 10.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS16: dermomyotome Strong 4A Expression is strong in the most posterior dermomyotomes.
TS16: myotome Absent 4A

Specimen 4B: embryonic day 10.0 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Itga4; red - Fn1 (assay MGI:5528523).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS16: myotome Present Regionally restricted 4B At the hindlimb level, some cells in the central myotome show expression but these are intercalated with nonexpressing cells. Expression was absent dorsomedially.

Specimen 4C: embryonic day 10.0 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Itga4; red - Fn1 (assay MGI:5528523).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS16: myotome Strong Regionally restricted 4C At the forelimb level, expression was strong in the intercalated myotome and hypaxially. Expression was absent dorsomedially.
TS16: dermomyotome Present Regionally restricted 4C Expression was detected in the dermomyotomal lips, first appearing in the ventrolateral and then the dorsomedial lip.

Specimen 4D: embryonic day 10.0 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Itga4; red - Fn1 (assay MGI:5528523).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS16: myotome Present Regionally restricted 4D Rostrally, expression was detected in the epaxial lip, intercalated myotome and hypaxial region. Expression was absent dorsomedially.
TS16: dermomyotome Present Regionally restricted 4D Expression was detected in the dermomyotomal lips, first appearing in the ventrolateral and then the dorsomedial lip.

Specimen 4E: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: myotome Strong Regionally restricted 4E Strong expression was detected in intercalated myotome and on cells in hypaxial myotome.
TS17: dermomyotome Strong Regionally restricted 4E Strong expression was detected in the dermomyotomal lip.
TS17: somite Strong Regionally restricted 4E No expression was seen between the myotomal and dermomyotomal domains.

Specimen 4F: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Itga4; red - Myf5 (assay MGI:5528358).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: myotome Present Regionally restricted 4F In caudal myotomes, expression was detected in most Myf5-positive cells in the central myotome. Only Myf5 is present epaxially.

Specimen 4G: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Itga4; red - Myog (assay MGI:5528360).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: myotome Present Regionally restricted 4G Expression was detected in myogenin-positive cells in the central myotome.

Specimen 4H: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Itga4; red - Myod1 (assay MGI:5528398).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: myotome Present Regionally restricted 4H Expression was absent in MyoD-positive cells dorsomedially, but was present in MyoD-positive cells aligned centrally.

Specimen 5A: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Itga4; red - myosin.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: myotome Present Regionally restricted 5A Expression was detected in differentiated, elongated cells. Less mature caudal myotomes also have expression in a medial position near the basal lamina.

Specimen 5B,C: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Itga4; red - myosin.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: myotome Present Regionally restricted 5B , 5C Expression on some elongated myocytes in the intercalated myotome extend their distal tips between the cells of the dermomyotome and appear to contact myocytes from the adjacent segment.

Specimen 5D: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Itga4; red - Fn1 (assay MGI:5528523).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: paraxial mesenchyme Present Regionally restricted 5D Expression was detected between adjacent somites, colocalizing with fibronectin.
