C) The same section from A, at 20X magnification. Reporter activation is incomplete in the spleen.

D) The same section from B, at 20X magnification. This pattern of expression is weak and does not appear to be specific to the B6.EIIa-cre.
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 spleen.
