Fig. 7. Co-expression of Pintallavis and Xbra RNAs induces expression of muscle-specific actin RNA in Xenopus animal caps. Embryos were injected at the 1- to 2-cell stage with the indicated combinations of Pintallavis and Xbra RNAs. Animal caps were excised at the mid-blastula stage and cultured to stage 31 when they were analyzed by RNAase protection. Maximal expression of muscle-specific actin RNA is seen in explants co-injected with 1.3 ng Xbra RNA and 0.8 ng Pintallavis RNA. This experiment was performed four times with similar results.
