Figure 2. Pancreatic bud expansion in vitro mimics in vivo marker expression.

Figure 2

A comparison of the expression profile of pancreas-specific markers during growth in Matrigel™ with in vivo embryonic growth using RT-PCR demonstrates a striking resemblance in expression pattern. Pancreatic explants dissected at e10.5 were grown in Matrigel™ for 6 days, and RNA harvested each day. The top row in each panel represents days in culture. RT-PCR on pancreatic RNA collected from embryos (e10.5 to e15.5) is shown in the lower row in each panel.
