FIGURE 7.
Prickle1 and Focadhesin proteins co-localize in the mouse cranial base mesenchyme. Dual immunofluorescence images of Prickle1 (green) and Focadhesin (red) proteins, with the nuclei stained with DAPI (blue). The areas within the white boxes are presented as single channels beside the combined image. (A,C) Embryonic day 12.5 cranial bases: in the Prickle1+/+ mesenchyme, the Prickle1 and Focadhesin proteins are co-localized (yellow, arrows), while in the Prickle1Bj/Bj mesenchyme, the signals are co-localized in bright foci, but in the cell periphery. (B,D) In Prickle1+/+ chondrocytes, the signals co-localize (yellow, arrows) at the cleavage furrow. In Prickle1Bj/Bj chondrocytes, Focadhesin is found in numerous puncta and in some cleavage furrows.
