- Vps33b and Vipar deficient murine skin does not show gross changes in the morphology of dermal collagen fibres but areas of thin basement membrane suggest subtle defects in collagen structure. A - Picrosirius red staining of control (Vps33b+/+ and Vipas39+/+), Vps33bfl/flERT2 and Vipas39fl/flERT2 skin. In picrosirius red images collagen stains red. Images are representative of results from three independent murine biopsies per genotype. B - TEM images of collagen fibrils in control, Vps33bfl/flERT2 and Vipas39fl/flERT2 dermis. All images are 0.8 μm2. Images are representative of at least two independent murine biopsies per genotype. C - TEM images of the dermo-epidermal junction in control, Vps33bfl/flERT2 and Vipas39fl/flERT2 skin. Areas of thinner basement membrane (arrow). All images are 1 μm2. SB and dermis (D) are indicated. Images are representative of at least two independent murine biopsies per genotype.
