The prx1 enhancer was activated in all trunk, forelimb, and head-skin wound areas 4 days after skin excision in Mprx1-GFP froglets. Sections of regenerating and intact control skin were labeled with an anti-GFP antibody; nuclei were stained with DAPI. Immunostaining of regenerating skin around the original wound area (A,B,E,F,I,J) and intact (control) skin away from the wound area (C,D,G,H,K,L) in the same froglet. Little GFP was detected in the intact control skin (D,H,L), but robust staining for GFP was detected under the wound epidermis (B,F,J). Skin surface is up. Five of five and four of four individuals showed basically the same results in the trunk and forelimb, respectively. Two of four individuals showed robust staining for GFP in wound area of the head (J), but the rest showed relatively weaker staining for GFP. Bar = 100 µm.
