Table 1. Summary of the contribution of DiI-labeled endoderm cells within a small area of the lateral-most domain of the AIP lip (at the first intersomite junction level in 9–11 somite embryos) to the gallbladder primordium after whole embryo cultures for 24–48 hra).

a) The DiI-labeled cells in the gallbladder primordium were determined by anti-SOX17 immunostaining using serial frozen sections of the cultured embryos. In contrast, the DiI-labeled cells in the liver bud or other regions were histologically estimated. b) Some DiI-labeled cells were found to be located in the posterior gut region including presumptive ventral pancreatic bud.
