Fig. 8. Snail functions as a transcriptional repressor. One blastomere of a two-cell stage embryo was injected with 700 pg of a Snail repressor construct (A-D) or the Snail activator construct (E-H), treated with dexamethasone at stage 12.5, fixed at stage 19, and the expression of neural crest markers analysed. Arrowhead, injected side. Note that the Snail repressor construct (XsnailZnF-GR-EnR) produced an expansion of the neural crest markers on the injected side (A-D), while the Snail activator lead to an inhibition in the expression of the markers (E-H).
