Figure 9. Altered morphogenesis and relaxed angiogenic privilege in Dkk2 mutant mice.
Control and Dkk2 mutant sections taken from e16.5 embryos stained with H&E. Comparable sections were immunostained to detect CD31 or LYVE1. CD31+ blood vessels were ectopically located in the peripheral cornea adjacent to the ciliary body but did not extend towards the central cornea. Panels C and F are magnified images of the boxed areas in panels B and F, respectively. C, cornea; CB, ciliary body.
