Lineage studies by mapping Cre activity in the root region of a second molar in a 2-week-old mouse by confocal microscopy using the Olympus FV 1000. Combined DAPI-stained nuclei (blue), Sp7-Cre-EGFP+ (green) and tdTomato+ (red) cells are shown. (a) DIC image. (b) Sp7+ EGFP signal. (c) tdTomato signal representing Cre event and cells derived from the Cre events. AP, apical papilla; BV, blood vessel; DAPI, 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole; DIC, differential interference contrast; Dp, dental-pulp chamber; Od, odontoblasts; PDL, periodontal ligament region.
