Fig. 7. Induction of Pitx2 by Xnr1 and activin in animal cap explants.
Embryos were injected with goosecoid, activin, Xnr1, eFGF or
BMP-4 RNA into animal blastomeres at the 4-8 cell stage, animal
caps were cut at stage 8, cultured until gastrula (stage 10.5-11), and
assayed for the presence of XPitx2, EF1-a, Xnr1, Xbra and Xvent1
RNA by RT-PCR. Note that Pitx2 mRNA was specifically induced
by activin and Xnr1. Co., control uninjected embryos. Image published in: Campione M et al. (1999) Copyright © 1999. Image reproduced with permission of the publisher and the copyright holder.
