Fig. 7. Transplantation of Dgat1+/+ mammary epithelium into
Dgat1/ recipient mice. Recipient mammary
glands were cleared of endogenous epithelium and then implanted with donor
epithelium. Recipient mice were mated, and epithelial morphology was analyzed
at P18 by wholemounts (A-D) or histology (E-H). Shown are recipient
(unoperated) control glands (A,C,E,G) and recipient glands that received
transplanted epithelium (B,D,F,H). Control transplantations are shown for
comparison (A,B).
