Fig. 9. Defects in testis formation in Sox9 heterozygous knock-out mice on
a Sox8/Sox8 knock-out background. (A-C) Urogenital ridges isolated at
E13.5 were analyzed for the presence of sex cords. Cords in Sox8/Sox8;
Sox9
/+ gonads were poorly outlined and the
formation of the coelomic vessel was disturbed. (D-F) Immunofluorescent
analysis of gonads at E15.5 (laminin, red; Mis, green). Sox8/Sox8;
Sox9
/+ gonads show a reduced number of sex
cords, reduced expression of Mis and areas with poor differentiation (white
arrowhead).
