Mean cp ± SD^a	36.03 ± 1.49	35.58 ± 1.92	35.49 ± 1.35	32.68 ± 1.50	35.13 ± 1.24	33.46 ± 2.06	24.05 ± 1.98	32.87 ± 0.64	23.15 ± 1.45	24.10 ± 1.43	17.86 ± 0.70

^aMean crossing points (cp) ± SD were calculated using GD 15.5, 16.5, and 17.5 mouse fetal lungs. The values are estimations of the relative abundance of the indicated mRNAs (n = 16-20 pools). Samples in which no expression was detected were not included. The lower value, the higher mRNA abundance.
