Figure 5 Zic3 induced NCAM, Xtwi, and Xslu expression but reduced epidermis in early stage embryo. A total of 100 pg of Zic3 mRNA was injected into one blastomere of two-cell stage embryos (A). In situ hybridization was performed with NCAM (A), Xtwi (B), and Xslu (C) probe, and immunohistochemistry was performed with EpA mAb (D). (A) Dorsal view of a stage 14 embryo. NCAM, Xtwi, and Xslu expressing regions expand laterally in the injected side (A). EpA staining in the epidermis is reduced in the injected side (D). Image published in: Nakata K et al.
