SG development in mice with SoxC deficiencies. (A-L) Immunohistochemistry was performed with antibodies directed against Th on transverse thoracic-level sections of wild-type (A,E,I), Sox4Δ/Δ (B,F,J), Sox11lacZ/lacZ (C,G,K) and Sox4Δ/Δ; Sox11lacZ/lacZ (dko) (D,H,L) embryos at 11.5 (A-D), 14.5 (E-H) and 18.5 (I-L) dpc. (M) The average Th-positive SG area per section was determined from immunohistochemical stainings in wild-type (black), Sox4Δ/Δ (blue), Sox11lacZ/lacZ (green) and Sox4Δ/Δ; Sox11lacZ/lacZ (dko, red) embryos at 11.5, 14.5 and 18.5 dpc. Area sizes are presented relative to the wild-type size at 18.5 dpc, which was set to 100. Reductions in size relative to the age-matched wild type were statistically significant (P<0.001, Student's t-test) for all ganglia except for Sox11lacZ/lacZ ganglia at 18.5 dpc. (N) Average cell numbers within the ganglia per section were determined by counting DAPI-positive nuclei. Reductions in cell number relative to the age-matched wild type were statistically significant (P<0.001, Student's t-test) for all ganglia except Sox4Δ/Δ ganglia at 11.5 and 14.5 dpc, and Sox11lacZ/lacZ ganglia at 18.5 dpc.
