Analysis of Tsc2^tm1Djk/Tsc2^tm1Djk embryos. A: Immunoblot analysis demonstrating lack of tuberin expression in Tsc2^tm1Djk/Tsc2^tm1Djk (-/-) embryos using mAb 5E8. B: Gross anatomy of homozygous mutant embryos. C-F: Histology of mutant (C and E) and wild type (D and F) embryos. C and D: Full embryo section, identical magnification. Insets indicate area of view enlarged in E and F. E and F: Liver and adjacent organs, identical magnification. H, heart; L, liver. The mutant embryo is overall smaller, and the liver is markedly hypoplastic with dilated sinusoids (arrows) in contrast to the normal liver. Scale bars: B-D, 2mm; E and F, 200um.
