Offspring were collected at E15.5, E17.5, and P0.5. Paraffin sections were prepared and immunostaining was performed as previously described23 (link). Primary antibodies against Ki67 (ab15580, Abcam), AMBN (sc-50534, Santa Cruz), AMGN (sc-32892, Santa Cruz), and APEX1 (ab194, Abcam) were used. To determine the cell proliferation index, Ki67-positive cells in the cervical loop of each tissue section were counted. At least five serial sections from each animal were examined, and three animals from different litters (nā€‰=ā€‰3) were included in each group.
