Fig. 7. A comparison of the lacZ expression patterns in the lenses of
8+/ and
8/ sibs. ß-gal staining (A) in embryonic lenses from
8+/ and
8/ sibs at 16.5 dpc; posterior view; (B) in 4-week old
8+/ and
8/ sibs; anterior view (upper panels) and from the equatorial view (lower panels); (C) in sections of lenses from postnatal day 17
8+/ (left-hand panel) and
8/ (right-hand panel) sibs. Arrowheads indicate the lens epithelium and arrows point to the bow region of the lenses. Scale bars (A) 0.2 mm; (B) 1 mm; (C) 100 µm.
