ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
While data regarding expression of limb element and tissue markers during normal mouse limb development exist, few studies show expression patterns in upper and lower limbs throughout key limb development stages. A comparison to normal developmental events is essential when analyzing development of the limb in mutant mice models.RESULTS:
Expression patterns of the joint marker Gdf5, tendon and ligament marker Scleraxis, early muscle marker MyoD1, and blood vessel marker Cadherin5 (Cdh5) are presented during the most active phases of embryonic mouse limb patterning. Anti-neurofilament staining of developing nerves in the fore- and hindlimbs and cartilage formation and progression also are described.CONCLUSIONS:
This study demonstrates and describes a range of key morphological markers and methods that together can be used to assess normal and abnormal limb development.
