HSI,IIhGH transgene expression was induced between E15.5 and E16.5. Representative pituitary sections from HSI,IIhGH transgenic fetal mice stained with mAb9 are shown. Sections obtained at E15.5, E16.5, and E18.5 were stained with mAb9. No staining was detectable at E15.5 (A), a few cells were positive by E16.5 (B; white arrow), and many cells were positive by E18.5 (C), whereas the pars intermedia (PI) remained negative. (×70.)
