Fig. 6. Lack of p53 does not rescue cerebellar neurons deficient for Rb and p107.
TUNEL staining of control (A), En2cre; RbLoxP/LoxP;
p107+/- (B) and En2cre; RbLoxP/LoxP;
p107+/-; p53-/- (C) cerebella at postnatal
day 15 shows no difference in the extent of apoptosis upon loss of p53. The
cell layers in the double mutant (B,C) are indicated (EGL, external granular
layer; PCL, Purkinje cell layer; IGL internal granular layer). Broken red
lines indicate the inner border of the presumed IGL, which would normally form
the cerebellar white matter. The cerebellum of a wild-type littermate is shown
on the left as a control (A). Scale bar: 50 µm.
