Fig. 6. Phenotype of Xenopus embryos injected with RNA encoding Xbra-EnR. (A) Control, uninjected embryo. Embryos injected with RNA encoding EnR alone are indistinguishable from such controls. (B,C) Embryos injected with 0.5 ng RNA encoding Xbra-EnR lack posterior structures. (D) Histological section of an embryo injected with 0.5 ng RNA encoding EnR alone. This embryo is indistinguishable from sections of control embryos. Note notochord (not) and muscle (mus). (E) Histological section of an embryo injected with RNA encoding Xbra-EnR. This embryo lacks posterior structures but has formed notochord (not) and somitic muscle (mus) anteriorly. (F–H) Embryos stained with the notochord-specific antibody MZ15. (F) Control embryo. (G) Embryo injected with RNA encoding Xbra-EnR; notochord is present anteriorly. (H) Embryo injected with RNA encoding Xbra-EnR; notochord is absent. (I,J) Embryos stained with the muscle-specific antibody 12/101. (I) Control embryo. (J) Embryo injected with RNA encoding Xbra-EnR; muscle is present anteriorly. Results similar to these were obtained following injection of 0.2 and 1.0 ng Xbra-EnR RNA (not shown). Image published in: Conlon FL et al. (1996) Copyright © 1996.
