Figure 5. Immunofluorescence analysis of differentiation in Dicer cKO thyroids at one month after birth.

(A) Immunofluorescence analysis of Pax8 (green signal) in Ctr (A–C), Het (D–F) and cKO (G–I) thyroids at 1 month (scale bar: 20 µm). Nuclei are stained with DRAQ5 (blue signal). (B) Double immunofluorescence analysis of Nis and Nkx2.1 (green and red signal, respectively) in Ctr (A–D), Het (E–H) and cKO (I–L) thyroids at 1 month (scale bar: 20 µm). Nuclei are stained with DRAQ5 (blue signal). Ctr denotes Dcr1^Flox/Flox mice, used as controls.
