Fig. 4. Xcadherin-11 affects the AP-2 pattern through its adhesion effect, while twist expression is influenced by its interference with Wnt/β-catenin signalling. (A) AP-2 and twist in situ hybridisation of embryos injected with 1 ng Xcad-11, 1 ng δeXcad-11 or 2.5-ng δ cXcad-11 RNA in one blastomere at the two-cell stage. (B) twist in situ hybridisation of an embryo injected with 1 ng δ eXcad-11 and 80 pg β-catenin. The injected side (right) is no different from the control side. (C) RT-PCR of half heads of embryos injected as in A. K, control. Image published in: Borchers A et al. (2001) Copyright © 2001.
