...Adrian W. Moore; Lesley McInnes; Jordan Kreidberg; Nicholas D. Hastie; Andreas Schedl The Wilms’ Tumour gene WT1 has important functions during development. Knock-out mice were shown to have defects in the urogenital system and to die at embryonic day E13.5, probably due to heart failure. Using...

... in a variety of kidney tumors. Yet, little is known about the signals regulating this transient expression pattern in the developing kidney. We have examined the spatial and temporal expression patterns of Pax-2 and the Wilms’ tumor suppresser protein WT1 with specific antibodies in developing mouse kidneys...

..., that is also expressed during kidney development and lacks the serine rich region. RNAase protection analysis shows the presence of both PAX8 transcripts in human thyroid, kidney and five Wilms’ tumors. No truncated Pax8 transcripts could be detected in mouse kidney. In situ hybridization to sections of human...
