β-catenin expression at HH42
β-catenin (brown stain) shows overall weak cytoplasmic expression with
moderate to high cytoplasmic and nuclear or cytoplasmic, nuclear and
membranal epithelial expression.
( 1
)
Medium cytoplasmic and nuclear expression in emerging osteogenic
region and border of dermal condensation, epithelium with strong
expression. Moderate nuclear expression in dermal condensation.
(2
)
No expression in nasal cartilage and medium cytoplasmic and nuclear
expression in adjacent myogenic area.
(3
)
Cartilage with no expression, weak cytoplasmic and nuclear expression
in perichondrogenic area and strong cytoplasmic, nuclear and membranal
expression in epithelium surrounding nasal conchae.
(4
)
Medium cytoplasmic, nuclear and membranal expression in epithelium at
the tip, weak cytoplasmic and nuclear expression in perichondrogenic
area and only weak cytoplasmic expression in surrounding mesenchyme.
(5
)
Paraglossal cartilage with no expression and weak cytoplasmic
expression in mesenchymal cells.
(6
)
Moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear expression in muscle and outer
layer of dermal condensation followed by moderate nuclear and no
expression. Scale bars are 50µm.
