Fig. 1. C/EBP
and its mRNA expression in mouse liver
development. Immunohistochemistry reveals that hepatoblasts and
hepatocytes express C/EBP
, localized in their nuclei, in
12.5-(A,B), 14.5-day (D) and neonatal (F) liver
sections. (B) Double staining of C/EBP
and DAPI. (C,E)
Cytokeratin immunostaining of D and F, respectively. Pearl-like structures and
biliary epithelial cells are negative for C/EBP
(arrows in C-F). In
situ hybridization using Cebpa antisense probes shows the absence of
Cebpa mRNA in biliary epithelial cells (arrows) of 16.5-day
(G) and 17.5-day (I) mouse liver sections. Hepatocytes are
positive for Cebpa mRNA. Sense probes give no significant signal on a
16.5-day liver section (H). PV, portal vein. Scale bars: 50 µm.
