Fig. 4. TuJ1 (green) and QCPN (red) immunostaining of E7 3-6 ablated + Q3
whole-mount gut preparations. (A-D) TuJ1 immunolabelling of (A)
stomach, (B) duodenum, (C) umbilicus and (D) the migration wave-front at the
end of the cecal buds (arrow). (E-I) Confocal images showing the
extensive contribution of quail NCC in the gut regions. The majority of TuJ1+
cells are stained with QCPN in the (E) stomach, (F) duodenum, (G) umbilicus
and (H) cecal buds. Arrowheads indicate TuJ1+QCPN-cells. (I) TuJ1
immunostaining in the NoR in the hindgut. NoR, Nerve of Remak; umb, umbilicus;
cb, cecal buds; hg, hindgut. Scale bar in E: 50 µm.
