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

B6.EIIa-cre adult thymus image 1
A) Adult (8 weeks old) female thymus, at 2X magnification. β-gal expression is strong and widespread in the thymus.

B) Adult male thymus, at 20X magnification.

C) The same section from A, at 20X magnification. β-gal expression is incomplete, but not restricted to specific cell types.
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 thymus.
