Figure

Double immunofluorescence of COUP-TFII (green) and β-GAL (red) in the mesonephroi of control (C-E) and Coup-tfII knockout (F-H) XX embryos at E12.5, 14.5, and 16.5. N=3 per group in A and C-H. The blue, magenta and white dotted circles indicate Wolffian ducts (remnants at E16.5), Müllerian ducts, and mesonephric tubules, respectively. Scale bar: 50 μm. Please see Suppl.
