Fig. 5. Erbb4Flox/FloxWap-Cre mice exhibit defects in mammary
epithelial proliferation. Immunohistochemical detection of in situ BrdU
incorporation in biparous Erbb4+/+Wap-Cre control
(A) and Erbb4Flox/FloxWap-Cre (B) mice at L1. Arrowheads
indicate BrdU-labeled nuclei. (C) A significant reduction in the percentage of
BrdU-labeled cells was observed in Erbb4Flox/FloxWap-Cre
mammary glands at P13 (t[8]=4.41, P<0.01) and L1 (t[8]=9.11,
P<0.001), but not at P18 (t[13]=1.71, P<0.20).
Significant differences within each data set are represented by asterisks.
Scale bar: 50 µm.
