Figure 6

Fgfr2c+/Δ/ Fgf10+/- double heterozygous mutant SMG is severely hypoplastic. A. Newborn R2c+/+/Fgf10+/+ WT SMG. B. Newborn R2c+/Δ/Fgf10+/+ (Fgfr2c+/Δ/Fgf10+/+) single heterozygous mutant SMG. C. Newborn R2c+/+/Fgf10+/-(Fgfr2c+/+/Fgf10+/-) single heterozygous mutant SMG. D. Newborn R2c+/Δ/Fgf10+/-(Fgfr2c+/Δ/Fgf10+/-) double heterozygous mutant SMG. The Fgfr2c+/Δ/Fgf10+/+ (B) and Fgfr2c+/+/ Fgf10+/- (C) single heterozygous SMGs have fewer ducts and terminal buds than seen in WT littermates (A). A much smaller, severely hypoplastic gland is seen in Fgfr2c+/Δ/Fgf10+/- double heterozygous mice (D) compared to Fgfr2c+/Δ/Fgf10+/+ (B) and Fgfr2c+/+/Fgf10+/- (C) littermates. Bar, 50 μm.
