Whole mount and section in situ hybridization for components of
the Shh pathway in TβRIIfl/fl and
TβRIIΔ/Δ E12.5
(A–F) and E15.5 (G–L) lungs. Abundance of
mRNA for both Ptc and Gli-1 is increased in the mutant lungs
(E, F, K, and L) compared with the control
lungs (B, C, H, and I). Little if any
change is detectable in the epithelial-localized Shh (A,
D, G, and J). Scale bar, 2.2 mm
(A, B, E, F, I, J); 100
μm (C, D, G, H, K,
L).
