Fig. 7. Expression of XlHbox 6 antigens at early
metamorphosis. A stage 49 albino tadpole was
immunostained in whole-mount with anti-XlHbox 6
antibodies and then dissected under clearing solution to
remove the central nervous system and tightly associated
structures. (A) Low power magnification showing two
condensations of intensely stained nuclei in the spinal cord
(CE and LE). The arrow labelled Ant.B shows that the
same anterior border of XlHbox 6 expression (Ant.B.) is
observed as in earlier stages. (B) Dorsal view at higher
power showing the cervical and lumbar condensations in
more detail. Note the sympathetic ganglia which represent a
possible additional site of XlHbox 6 expression. (C) Lateral
view of the same tissue. Note that there are many
immunostained nuclei between CE and LE, and also
posteriorly of LE (arrowheads). Abbreviations;
Ant.B., anterior boundary of XlHbox 6 expression;
hb, hindbrain; sc, spinal cord; myo, myotome;
sg, sympathetic ganglia; no, notochord; CE, cervical
enlargement; LE, lumbar enlargement. 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.
