Phenotype Image Detail
Image
Caption A: Hematoxylin and eosin staining shows that in Akt1tm1Hem/Akt1tm1Hem mouse placenta, the major layers of decidua, spongiotrophoblast, and labyrinth were reduced, but the decrease of decidua was more significant that other layers. Magnification, x20. De, decidua. B, periodic acid Schiff's staining shows a marked reduction of glycogen-containing cells in the spongiotrophoblast in mutant placentae. Magnification, x20. C: Higher magnification of B, x40. Bracket indicates the glycogen-containing cells in the spongiotrophoblast. D-F: Structure of the labyrinth revealed by alkaline phosphatase staining. D, the outline of the labyrinth is clearly shown (blue color). Note that the vasculature is disordered in mutant 1. Magnification, x20. E, higher magnification of D, x40. Fetal erythrocytes are stained brown in the blood vessels. Note that in the mutant 1, fetal blood vessels were dilated, and the total blood vessel area was greatly reduced. Mutant 2 shows reduced and disordered vasculature. F, higher magnification (x100) of labyrinth.
