Fig. 1. Inhibition of execution of post-MBT embryonic apoptosis in SAMDC mRNA-injected Xenopus embryos by peptide inhibitors for caspases. 2000, 200, 20, or 0 pmol/egg of the synthetic peptide inhibitor for caspase-9 (Ac-LEHD-CHO) (A) or caspase-1 (Ac-YVAD-CHO) (B) was co-injected with 100 pg/egg SAMDC mRNA into Xenopus lavies fertilized eggs. Control embryos were injected with distilled water alone. Fifty fertilized eggs from the same batch were used for each experimental group. Percentage of developing embryos was plotted against the ordinate according to the developmental stages. Three independent experiments were done, with essentially the same results.
