Figure 3. Expression of lhx1a:EGFP and other renal factors in the adult kidney.
a, Single mesenchymal cells labelled with lhx1a:EGFP (scale bar, 10 μm). b, Small aggregates labelled with lhx1a:EGFP (scale bar, 10 μm). c, An untreated kidney showing lhx1a:EGFP+ aggregates in a portion of the trunk region; scale bar, 0.5 mm). d, Co-expression of wt1b:mCherry and lhx1a:EGFP in large aggregates (asterisk, autofluorescence; scale bar, 10 μm). e, f, Expression of wt1b in untreated and gentamicin-damaged kidneys (scale bar, 0.5 mm). g–i, Expression of wt1b in a large aggregate (g), a comma-shaped body (h) and an immature nephron (i) in gentamicin-damaged kidneys (scale bar, 10 μm). j, Expression of pax2a, wt1a and fgf8a in large aggregates or renal vesicles in gentamicin-damaged kidneys (scale bar, 10 μm).
