β-galactosidase expression activated by B6.EIIa-cre in adult heart

B6.EIIa-cre adult heart image 1
A) Adult (8 weeks old) female heart at 2X magnification. β-gal expression is strong throughout the majority of the heart.

B) Adult (8 weeks old) male heart at 2X magnification. β-gal expression is strong but restricted to specific cells in the heart.

D) The same section from B, at 20X magnification.
Note: The difference between β-gal expression for the male and female samples are just initial observations. No quantification was conducted to determine if a true sex-based difference is present with the B6.EIIa-cre line. Compare to P7 heart.
