Fig. 9. Impaired lactation and differentiation in
Dgat1/ mammary epithelium transplanted into
wild-type recipient mammary glands. (A) Absence of lipid droplets in
Dgat1/ mammary epithelium transplanted into
wild-type recipient mammary glands. Sections were stained with osmium
tetroxide, which stains neutral lipids. Note the lipid droplets in the
recipient control glands (arrowheads). (B) Reduced immunostaining of markers
of epithelial differentiation in Dgat1/
mammary epithelium transplanted into wild-type recipient mammary glands. Red
fluorescence indicates the differentiation markers WAP and NPT2B. Green
fluorescence indicates the control markers of epithelial cells, ß-catenin
(ß-cat) and E-cadherin (Ecad).
