Fig. 6. Distribution of XlHbox 6 antigens in the spinal cord
of stage 27 tadpole. A transverse section was (A)
immunostained with XlHbox 6 antibodies and (B)
counterstained with Hoechst 33258. At this stage of
development, the spinal cord starts to display a degree of
differentiation into defined layers. Now, not all of the spinal
cord nuclei express XlHbox 6 antigens. The more
peripheral nuclei which probably correspond to
differentiated primary neurons are no longer stained.
Immunostaining is confined to the entire inner layer
(ependymal layer) and a few cells that have migrated
laterally away from this mitotic zone. Note the nuclei that
are much less intensely immunostained in the lateral plate
mesoderm indicated by arrowheads. Abbreviations:
ec, ependymal canal; sc, spinal cord; no, notochord;
endo, endoderm; myo, myotome; ecto, ectoderm;
LPM, lateral plate mesoderm. Image published in: Wright CV et al. (1990) Copyright © 1990. 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.
