Fig. 4. Regional expression of the Hox 2.4 transcript in Xenopus embryos. The top part of the figure shows the dissected regions of stage 14 and 26 embryos used in the analysis of Hox 2.4 transcripts along the anteroposterior axis of neurula and tailbud stage embryos. The bottom part shows results of RNAse protection assays on the RNAs from the dissected embryonic parts. Numbering for the lanes corresponds to the number on the diagram labeling the segments dissected. Twenty embryos of the indicated stages were manually dissected. Each lane contains RNA pooled from five fragments. Note that Hox 2.4 transcripts are localized in the middle to posterior region of the embryos. An actin probe was used to normalize the RNA recovery.
