Analysis of cellular changes in the Wt1−/− lateral body wall. A–D, Analysis of cell proliferation in the Wt1-positive mesenchyme of the lateral body wall surrounding the common cardinal veins performed on transverse sections through the venous pole by BrdU immunohistochemistry. Dorsal is oriented up. E, Proliferation rates (% BrdU labeling index) of red encircled regions in genotypes as shown in A–D. F–M, TUNEL staining for apoptosis in Wt1-expressing subcoelomic mesenchyme on transverse embryo sections. The white arrow in (I) points to a cluster of apoptotic cells in E13.5 wildtype embryos. Stages and genotypes are as stages as indicated. Abbreviations are as in Figure 1 and 2.
