Fig. 4. Expression of XlHbox 6 antigens is limited to posterior central nervous system. (A) A tailbud embryo (stage 25) was paraffin sectioned and immunostained for XlHbox 6 antigens. Black areas in the spinal cord represent immunostaining. This embryo was curled so that an anterior section through the brain is at left and a section through the spinal cord is at right. (B) Expression of XlHbox 6 in a stage 38 spinal cord. This is a slightly skewed, or oblique, lateral section. The periodic row of black dots (arrowheads) represents staining in a very few nuclei at the ependymal surface of the spinal cord. Abbreviations: ec, ependymal canal; sc, spinal cord; myo, myotomes; hb, hindbrain; no, notochord; endo, endoderm; LPM, lateral plate mesoderm; df, dorsal fin. Image published in: Wright CV et al.
