Fig. 7. Abnormal cartilage at the midline sagittal suture in
Fgfr2+/S252W mice from E16.5 to E18.5. (A-D) HE staining,
(E-H) Sox9 in situ hybridization, and (I-L) collagen type II
immunohistochemical staining, showing the abnormal cartilage in mutants from
E16.5 (left panels) to E18.5 (right panels). (A,E,I,C,G,K) Control
littermates; (B,F,J,D,H,L) corresponding regions in mutant mice. Arrows,
abnormal cartilage; s, skin; p, parietal bone; b, brain. Scale bars: A-L, 50
