cell marker B1 ch 27,
2008 identifies acinar
cell precursors early in
the embryonic
development of the
mouse submandibular
gland. Immunofluorescence
staining of the B1 protein
(green) at embryonic
day 14 (E14) is restricted
to the outer cell layer of the
developing buds (E14,
20X, white solid
box; E14, 40X, block
arrow), while the remaining
cells marked by
filamentous actin
(F-actin, red) are negative
(E14, unfilled block arrows).
The B1 protein is
maintained in the outer
cell layer at later
stages of development
(E15.5, 20X, block arrow).
In the cytodifferentiated
SMG at E18.5, acinar
cells display prominent
B1 expression (block
arrow), while the ducts
remain negative
(unfilled arrow).
