Figure Lengend Snippet: Crect -driven Irf6 ablation recapitulates the global Irf6 KO phenotype. A. Representative images of littermate control and Crect + - Irf6 fl/fl cKO pups at approximately E17. Crect + - Irf6 fl/fl pups exhibit “cocooning” taught skin, abnormal and shortened limbs, and an umbilical hernia that has been described for the Irf6 global KO. B. Hematoxylin and eosin staining of coronal sections of approximately E17 Crect + - Irf6 fl/fl pup and littermate control. Crect + - Irf6 fl/fl cKO pups exhibit severe oral adhesions and cleft palate similar to the global Irf6 KO mouse. Scale: 100 µM.
