β-galactosidase expression activated by B6.EIIa-cre in adult liver
 A) Adult (8 weeks old) female liver at 2X magnification. β-gal expression is strong in the majority of liver cells. |
 B) Adult (8 weeks old) male liver at 2X magnification. β-gal expression is strong but restricted in the male liver. |
 C) The same section from A, at 20X magnification. Reporter activation is widespread, but incomplete in the female liver. |
 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 liver. | |
