Fig. 5. Timed deletion of Foxa2 during lung morphogenesis. The period of
doxycycline treatment is shown in the top panel. Lung sections from
SP-C-rtTA-/tg, (tetO)7CMV-Cre-/tg,
Foxa2loxP/loxP (B,D,F,H) and littermate controls (A,C,E,G)
were prepared on PN16 and stained with hematoxylineosin. Airspace enlargement
and neutrophilic infiltrations were observed in the Foxa2-deleted
mice. Figures are representative of at least four individual mice of each
genotype. Scale bar: 300 µm.
