Assay
Reference: J:65596 Voss AK, et al., Taube nuss is a novel gene essential for the survival of pluripotent cells of early mouse embryos. Development. 2000 Dec;127(24):5449-61
Assay type: Immunohistochemistry
MGI Accession ID: MGI:5775370
Gene symbol: Fgf4
Gene name: fibroblast growth factor 4
Antibody: anti-FGF4
Detection system: Secondary antibody coupled to Alexa Fluor 568
Assay notes: Stained embryos were the product of heterozygotic intercrosses. Based on other evidence, normal Mendelian ratios are to be expected at the ages examined. The genotype of individual embryos was not determined. Thus the genotype assigned to the pictured embryos is based on phenotypic criteria; in some cases more than one genotype exhibits the same phenotype.
