Fig. 4. Rescued glucagon-producing cells have normal
-cell
characteristics. (A-D) Immunofluorescence staining for glucagon
(red) and ghrelin (green) at E12.5 and E18.5 on wild-type (A,C) and
Nkx2.2-/-;Nkx2.2hdEnR (B,D) pancreata. There are a small number of
glucagon-ghrelin co-staining cells (yellow) in wild-type and rescued pancreata
(20x magnification). (E,F) Glucagon-positive cells (green)
co-express the
-cell marker Pax6 (red) in wild-type (E) and rescued (F)
islets at E18.5. (40x magnification.)
