FIG. 5. Neural induction is necessary for the expression of Xumt-3A. Ectoderm was isolated from stage 10 embryos and cultured alone or in the presence of mesoderm . The recombinants were grown until control embryos reached stage 27 of development. The recombinants were then proces!ged for whole-mount in situ hybridization with an antisense Xwnt-3A probe and sectioned. (A) Mesoderm/ectoderm recombinant; open arrow, dorsal midline; closed arrow, otic vesicle. {B) Ectoderm grown in the absence of mesoderm. (C-E) Transverse sections through mesoderm/ ectoderm recombinants. (C) Neural tube signal, open arrow; bar= 50 #J.-m. (D) Apparent otic vesicle signal, closed arrow; bar = 25~tm. (E) Transverse section through an ectoderm tissue mass; bar = 100 IJ.ffi. Image published in: Wolda SL et al. (1993) Copyright © 1993. Image reproduced with permission of the Publisher, Elsevier B.
