Fig. 8. Loss of interdigital tissue in N-Myc-deficient mouse limbs.
(A) Staining for BrdU incorporation at E13.5. Note the interdigital
channel of predominantly BrdU-negative cells of PC limbs is lost in
interdigital regions of PC-NMycf/f limbs. The boxed
regions are shown at higher magnification and the percentage of BrdU-positive
cells in the specific regions marked by red boxes is indicated. (B) TEM
of interdigital regions in PC and PC-NMycf/f paws. Scale
bars: 10 µm. (C) Staining for the blood vessel marker Pecam (green)
with propidium iodide. C, cartilage condensations; P, perichondrium; E,
epithelium.
