FIGURE 1. Expression pattern of Akirin2 during early Xenopus development. (A) RT-PCR analysis of Akirin2 expression at different stages (St.0 to St.30). H4 is an internal reference. NC, negative control without reverse transcriptase in the RT reaction. (B-I) Whole-mount in situ hybridization of Akirin2. The Akirin2 transcript is detected in the animal pole at St.3 (B) and St.6.5 (C) (B and C, lateral view, animal pole to the top). At St.15, Akirin2 is expressed at the neural plate (np) (D, dorsal view). At late neurulation, Akirin2 is most abundant in branchial arches (br) and the optic vesicle (opt) (E, dorsal view; F, lateral view; G, frontal view). At the tailbud stage, Akirin2 is mainly expressed in the branchial arches (br), optic vesicle (opt), otic vesicle (ot), pronephric tubule (pt) and neural tube (nt) (H and I, lateral view).
