Fig. 1. Dox-controlled VEGFR2T expression in hepatocytes. (A) Schematic diagram of
the transgene TRE-VEGFR2T. (B) Western blotting of newborn liver
using an anti-HA antibody. Lanes 1-3, TRE-VEGFR2T sub-line 4377.5;
lanes 4-6, sub-line 3647.5. (C,D) Expression of tTA by lacZ reporter
assay in (C) E10.5 and (D) E11.5 embryos. (E,F) Immunostaining for the
extracellular domain of VEGFR2 on LAP-tTA control liver (E) and
LAP-tTA/TRE-VEGFR2T mutant liver (F). Nuclei are stained blue with
DAPI. (G) VEGF levels in liver by ELISA. Error bars represent s.d.
