Fig. 2. PGC distribution in the Cx43
1 KO mouse embryo. The
distribution of PGCs in Cx43
1 wild-type (+/+) and homozygous
Cx43
1KO (-/-) mouse embryos from E8.5 to E11.5 was observed via GFP
expression mediated by an Oct4-GFP transgene. No difference was seen
in the overall distribution of GFP-expressing cells in the wild-type versus KO
mouse embryos. However, at E11.5 there was a noticeable reduction in GFP
fluorescence in the genital ridges of the KO mouse embryos. Scale bars: 100
µm.
