Fig. 4. Knockdown of Ledgerline causes abnormal expression of mespb and Tbx6 during Xenopus somitogenesis. (A-D) Whole-mount in situ hybridization for mespb (A,B) and Tbx6 (C,D). Embryos at the 4-cell stage were injected with Control-MO (A,C) or Ledgerline-MO (B,D). In the embryos injected with Ledgerline-MO, the regions of mespb and Tbx6 expression were expanded anteriorly (white bar in B and D, respectively). Image published in: Hitachi K et al.
