FIG. 1. Expression domains of XNkx2.5 and myocardial differentiation markers during heart tube formation. (A, B, and C) Embryos were stained for expression of XNkx2-5, XMLC-2a, XMHCa, and XTn-Ic genes at stages 28 (A) and 32 (B) by RNA whole-mount in situ hybridization. Stained embryos were embedded in paraffin wax and (C) shows representative transverse sections through the anterior, middle, and posterior portions of a stage 28 heart region.
