Fig. 9. Ectopic XCyp26 mRNA affects early expression of XPax-8 and Xlim-1. Four-cell stage embryos were injected with XCyp26 and β-galactosidase encoding mRNAs into the two blastomeres fated to give rise to the left side. At stage 13, Xlim-1 and XPax-8 expression was analysed by combined in situ hybridization (purple staining) and β-galactosidase activity (red staining). Xlim-1 (A, B) and XPax-8 (C, D) expression in the area fated to give pronephros is severely reduced on the injected side. Note that expression of XPax-8 in the otic placode is also reduced. Dorsal is up, anterior is to the right for the control sides and to the left for the injected sides. Image published in: Cartry J et al. (2006) Copyright © 2006.
