The Wnt1-lineage does neither contribute to the postnatal epithelium of the postnatal murine gastrointestinal tract nor the Dclk1+ gastrointestinal tuft cell compartment. (A) Representative fluorescent picture of small intestinal sections of a Wnt1-Cre R26tdTomato (red) mouse stained for Dclk1 (green); (B) Representative fluorescent picture of a Dclk1+ tuft cell (green) in close proximity to Wnt1-Cre traced stromal structures. Arrows indicate Dclk1+ cells.
