SLK deletion does not affect muscle development. a, b β-galactosidase histochemistry on cross sections of E12.5 embryos from a wild type (WT) and SLK-null (KO) embryo into the ROSA26R background. The location of neural tube is indicated by an asterisk. c, d MyHC immunofluorescence staining to identify differentiated skeletal muscle tissue within developing E12.5 embryos. The neural tube is indicated by an asterisk. e, f MyHC type I staining on soleus muscles (12 weeks) from wild type (WT) and knockout mice (KO). g Minimum Feret’s diameter of type I fibers from each group (n = 5/genotype). h, i MyHC type II staining and j Minimum Feret’s diameter of type II fibers (n = 5/genotype)
