Fig. 2. Abnormal digit formation and limb development in
Fgfr1Co/Co;Ap-2Cre mice. (A) Forelimb of E11.5
Fgfr1Co/Co;Ap-2Cre (Mt) and
Fgfr1Co/Cocontrol (Wt) mice. (B) Whole-mount in situ
hybridization for Sox9 in E12 forelimbs. (C,D) Hoxd12
stained E13.5 forelimbs (C) and hindlimbs (D). The Hoxd12-negative
digit is the first digit (1). Arrowheads in C indicate fused digits. (E-I)
Alizarin Red and Alcian Blue stained newborn forelimbs (E-G), and P10
hindlimbs (H,I). The arrows in F-H indicate fused digits. The boxed area in E
is enlarged in F. Ra, radius; Ul, ulna; In, intermedium; Fib, fibulare; Ti,
tibia; Fi, fibula; Sc, scapula; Hu, humerus.
