Fig. 7. Increased neuronal differentiation of enteric neural crest cells at the
migratory front. (A,B) Whole-mount preparations of guts from
E11.5 TgWnt1Cre;R26YFPStop embryos wild-type
(Edn3+/+; A) or homozygous for the ls allele
(Edn3ls/ls; B); guts were immunostained for YFP (green)
and TuJ1 (red). Images correspond to the front of enteric neural crest cell
migration (part of box 2 of the gut shown in
Fig. 6A). (C) Bars
represent the fraction of double-positive (TuJ1+YFP+)
cells within the total population of YFP+ cells present at the
front of migration of wild-type (red), Edn3+/ls (blue) and
Edn3ls/ls (green) embryos.
