β-galactosidase expression activated by Nes-cre in P7 muscle

Nes-ce p7 muscle image 1
A) P7 skeletal muscle at 2X magnification. β-gal expression is strong but not specific to any cell types.

B) Muscle from different P7 pup, at 20X magniifcation. For this section β-gal expression is spotty and doesn't appear real.
Note: This type of inconsistent β-gal expression was observed, regardless of the sex of the pups or the mode of inheritance of Nes-cre. Both samples were genotyped positive for cre and lacZ.
