Fig. 8. DNA isolated from Hsp47/ embryos at 10.5 dpc, but not at 9.5 dpc, shows the ladder pattern that is typical of apoptosis. DNA extracted from wild-type and Hsp47/ embryos at 9.5 and 10.5 dpc was analysed by agarose gel electrophoresis. The DNA ladder was observed only in Hsp47/ embryos at 10.5 dpc (right side), although none of the embryos displayed DNA fragmentation at 9.5 dpc (left side). Size markers: A, lambda phage DNA digested with HindIII; B,
x174 DNA digested with HaeIII.
