Fig. 2. Activity of Cre recombinase in Cre transgenic lines revealed by
X-gal staining. (A,B) Wholemounts of E14.5 ROSA26R (A) and
K14-Cre43; ROSA26R (B) embryos. Cre activity is detected
globally in the epidermis of the K14-Cre43 embryo. (C) Frozen section
of K14-Cre43; ROSA26R dorsal skin at P1. (D) Transverse
section of E15 bcre-32; ROSA26R embryo torso after
whole-mount X-gal staining. Arrows mark the limits of staining in ventral
epidermis. HF, hair follicle; NT, neural tube.
