Embryonic and adult tissue were processed for hematoxylin and eosin (H and E) staining, Herovici’s collagen stain and, immunohistochemistry/immunofluorescence (IHC) as previously described (Dina et al., 2015 ; Durst et al., 2015 ; Sauls et al., 2015 ). IHC of cilia stains to look at expression and measure cilia length were done on 15 μm thick sections to insure measurement of full cilia length. Histology and IHC were preformed using 5 μm thick sections from E11,13,15,17, P0, and Adult (4month) aortic valves. Herovici stains were preformed using Herovici’s Collagen Stain Kit Procedure (American MasterTech, LODI, CA, Cat#KTHERPT). For immunohistochemistry (IHC): Antigen retrieval was performed for 1 minute using antigen unmasking solution (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA, Cat#H-3300) by pressure cooker (Cuisinart, Stamford, CT, USA).
