Fig. 9. Over-proliferation of cardiac precursors in the distal OFT of
Hand1-overexpressing embryos. Sagittal (A-D) and frontal
(E-H) sections through the distal OFT region of control or
Hand1-overexpressing embryos at E9.5. Immunofluorescence with
antibody specific to phospho-histone H3 (
-PH3) to mark proliferating
cells (A,C,E,G). (B,D,F,H) Bis-benzamide counterstaining (DNA) of nuclei.
White arrowheads in C and G indicate areas of proliferating cells. co,
control; oe, over-expression.
