Fig. 7. Effects of removing the prechordal mesoderm on retina formation in Xenopus embryonic
explants. (A) A wild-type embryo at st. 35. (B) A st. 35 control explant of the anterior neural plate
with the underlying prechordal mesoderm. (C) An anterior neural plate explant without prechordal
mesoderm. The explants were isolated at st. 12.5 and cultured until st. 35. (D) A transverse section
of a st. 42 control explant after in situ hybridization with a Pax-6 probe. (E) A transverse section of
a st. 42 explant without prechordal mesoderm at st. 12.5 and fixed for in situ hybridization with
Pax-6 at st. 42. Note the presence of Pax-6 expressing neural retina as well as the retina pigment
epithelium. Image published in: Li H et al. (1997) Copyright © 1997. Image reproduced with permission of the publisher and the copyright holder. This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License. Larger Image Printer Friendly View |
