Figure 9From: Targeted disruption of cubilin reveals essential developmental roles in the structure and function of endoderm and in somite formationMaternally derived HDL is not taken up by the yolk sac visceral endoderm of cubilin-deficient embryos. Shown are confocal micrographs of a heterozygous 8.0 dpc embryo (A-C) and a homozygous littermate (D-F) isolated 1 hour after DiI-HDL was infused into the mother. The distal portion of the VE was removed from all embryos shown. VE, visceral endoderm; EE, embryonic endoderm.Back to article page
