Fig. 4. Posterior truncations and tail bud development. (A-C)
Bright-field photographs of E13.5 littermates (caudal region).
(D,E) Hematoxylin and Eosin stained sections through kidneys of
wild-type and severely truncated

Frs/
Frs embryos; bar
indicates relative magnification. (F) T (Brachyury) and
(G,H) Wnt3a whole-mount in situ hybridization.
(I) Quantitation of proliferation (pH3, P=0.33) and apoptosis
(TUNEL, P=0.09) in E10.5 tail bud sections. Each data point
represents the mean of three to eight sections through each of at least three
embryos. Error bars indicate ±1 s.d.; P values were determined
by Student's t-test.
