FIG. 3. Embryos stained for either pax3 (A) or myoD (E) followed by 12/101 staining. Stage-37 embryos stained for pax3 expression (A, B) reveal the pax3-expressing cells are just ventral to differentiated muscle (arrow heads), with little overlap, as indicated from a transverse section (B) of embryo in (A) (arrow). The lack of overlap is more dramatic in stage-41 embryos (C, arrow). (D) A transverse section of embryo in (C). The arrow shows pax3 expression which does not overlap with 12/101 staining (arrow heads). Stage-37 embryos stained formyoD (E, F) indicate significant overlap ofmyoD expression and differentiatedmuscle (arrow heads in E, arrow in F). At stage 41, overlap of myoD expression continues over a broad range of differentiated muscle (G), which can also be seen in (H) (arrows). In (B), (D), (F), and (H), dorsal is toward the top of the page. Image published in: Martin BL and Harland RM (2001) Copyright © 2001. Image reproduced with permission of the Publisher, Elsevier B.
