Fig. 3. Deletion of the Ift88 gene in the mouse thyroid is unlikely to be involved in thyroid follicle development.

Until 6 weeks of age, the thyroids of homozygous (Tg-cre;Ift88 ^flox/flox) and heterozygous (Tg-Cre;Ift88 ^flox/+) mice were phenotypically and functionally indistinguishable from those of the wild-type (Tg-Cre;Ift88 ^+/+) littermates. Scale bar: 100 μm.
