Additional file 2.Sel1l-deficient pancreatic epithelium exhibits impaired growth, branching morphology and differentiation ex vivo. The dorsal pancreatic bud of wild-type (+/+) and Sel1lβgeo/βgeo (-/-) embryos were isolated at E11.5 and cultured as described in Materials and Methods. Cultured pancreatic explants were immunostained with the indicated antibodies. Sel1l-deficient pancreatic epithelium grows poorly and displays impaired branching morphology (B and D), as compared to wild-type control explants (A and C). Scale bar: 100 μm.
