Fig. 3. Early Cre-induced recombination of Notch1 and Notch2
alleles in the pancreatic epithelium. (A,B) Detection of
early
cells in the dorsal bud by immunostaining for glucagon at E12.5.
(A) Microdissection of pancreatic epithelial cells. (B) Note that
glucagon+ cells (dark) are not dissected. (C,D)
Schematic maps of the floxed Notch1 (C) and Notch2 (D) locus
before and after Cre-induced recombination. The position and polarity of the
primers used for amplification are represented by P1, P2 and P3 for
Notch1, and P4, P5, P6 and P7 for Notch2 (red arrowheads).
DNA was isolated from pancreatic epithelial cells of two Notch1/2KO
embryos (lane 1 and lane 2). As a control, DNA from heterozygous
Notch1/2+/f mice was used (lane 3).
