Quantitative analysis of Esrrg−/− mouse embryonic kidneys using OPT imaging. Digital sections from OPT scans of paired 17 dpc embryonic kidneys dissected from littermates of Esrrg+/−/Esrrg+/− matings. Eight kidneys from four wild-type embryos (WT), six kidneys from three Esrrg+/− embryos (HET) and six kidneys from three Esrrg−/− embryos (KO) are shown in midline saggital plane defined by analysis of the 3D digital image. The graph shows the range (box), mean (solid line) and error bars (dotted lined) for each genotype group of the luminal volume (right-hand graph) and ratio of lumen to kidney parenchyma for whole kidneys.
