Supplemental Figure 1: in situ hybridization of DHFR in Xenopus laevis. A) Antisense probe targeting DHFR revealed expression in the neural tube, future eyes and face surrounding the presumptive embryonic mouth in stages 22-30. B) The sense probe was devoid of staining. C) Antisense probe targeting reduced folate carrier (RFC) revealed overlapping expression domains with DHFR, however, DHFR appeared to be more ubiquitously expressed than this gene. These results suggest the possibility that reduced folate carrier is only necessary in some cells and could also perform different/additional functions than simply transporting folate into the cell.
