Apoptosis in E12.5 dorsal root ganglia and liver

Bouin's fixed sagittal sections from paraffin-embedded E12.5bcl-x+/*/casp9+/*, bcl-x−/−/casp9+/*, bcl-x+/*/casp9−/−, andbcl-x−/−/casp9−/− mice were TUNEL-labeled (* denotes + or −). The number of embryos analyzed is shown in parentheses. The mean number of positive cells and SEM per 60× field were determined for each group.
