Figure 3. Eomesodermin Is Expressed in the Mesoderm of Gastrula Stage Embryos(A)C), in situ hybridization to sections cut vertically through the dorso-ventral axis of stage 10 embryos; (D), wholemount in situ (stage 10.5). Sections were probed with Eomes (A), Xbra (B), or gsc (C). Dorsal (D) and ventral (V) sides are marked. Hybridization to Xbra is relatively weak owing to the low Xbra message abundance at stage 10. The large closed arrow indicates Eomes-positive cells on the outside of the embryo. (D), wholemount hybridization with an Eomes probe, shows the gradient distribution of Eomes transcripts. Open arrows point to Eomes-positive cells at a more vegetal level than Xbra-positive cells. Small black arrows indicate the location of the dorsal lip in (A) and (B).
