Msx1 expressions (immunohistochemistry) in transverse sections of
E14.5 wild-type (A) and p63-/- (B) bladders (100x).
(C,D) Fgf8 in situ hybridization in the sagittal
sections of E11.5 wild-type (C) and p63-/- (D) UGS
(100x). (E,F) m-snail in situ hybridization of
E14.5 wild-type (E) and p63-/- (F) bladders (sagittal
sections) (100x). (G,H) BrdU incorporation in the sagittal
sections of wild-type (G) and p63-/- (H) E11.5 UGS
(100x). Arrows in A-H represent the ventral UGS. (I) Histogram of
cell proliferation in both epithelium and mesenchyme of E11.5 wild-type and
p63-/- UGS.
