Fig. 6.
P0-Cre labeled fungiform taste buds in sagittal tongue sections of R26R reporter mice at P1 and P10. Representative images of early taste buds (black dotted outlines) in fungiform papillae for fully (left column), partially (middle) labeled, and without labels (right). The number on the top right corner in each image is the average percentage of the labeled taste buds divided by the total number of taste buds. Quantification was done in serial sections (10 μm thick, ~100 sections); n=3 tongues for P1 and n=2 for P10 data. Scale bars: 25 μm.
