Fig. 2. Fluorescence images of transverse sections from gonads of chick embryos
treated with lindane. (A) E8.5 (HH35) embryo with complete situs
inversus. The gonads display inversion of the L-R differences within the
epithelium as shown by fibronectin (Fn) and DMRT1; DAPI staining of DNA
(blue). (B) E7 (HH31) ZZ embryo with gut heterotaxia double stained for
DMRT1 and fibronectin, or for N-cadherin (N-Cad). (C) E7 (HH31) ZW
embryo with gut heterotaxia double stained for ER
and LHX9. In B and C,
both left and right gonads display a left pattern consistent with development
as left isomers. L, left; R, right. Scale bar: 50 µm.
