FIG. 1. Early expression of XAP-2. Whole mount in situ hybridizations at stage 10.25 (A) and stage 12.5–13 (B) to antisense XAP-2 probe, stained with BM-purple. In panel A, the arrowhead indicates hybridization to a chordin probe to mark the dorsal lip (magentaphos stain). At the beginning of gastrulation, XAP-2 RNA was found throughout the ectoderm, then becomes excluded from the neural plate by the end of gastrulation, at which time high level expression commences in the cranial neural crest region.
