Fig. 3. Whole-mount in situ hybridization analysis of Xfz3 mRNA expression. (A) Stage 14, dorsal view. Xfz3 mRNA is detected in the anterior neural fold.
(B) Stage 17, dorsal view. Expression of Xfz3 mRNA extends to the trunk neural fold. (C) Stage 20, dorsal view. Xfz3 mRNA is detected in the entire neural
fold along a rostral and caudal direction with high levels of expression in the anterior region. A strong expression site can be found as a large band in the
midbrain (arrowheads). (D) Stage 20. Lateral view shows Xfz3 mRNA expression in the neural fold but also in the region corresponding to the optic lobe. (E)
Stage 26, dorsal view. Expression of Xfz3 mRNA decorates the anterior central nervous system. In the trunk region, expression of Xfz3 mRNA is located in
the dorsal region of the neural tube. Arrowheads indicate the strong expression site of Xfz3 in the midbrain. (F) Lateral view of an embryo at stage 26,
showing strong expression of Xfz3 mRNA in the neural tube. Lower levels of expression can be observed in the optic lobes (op), in the otic vesicles (ov) and
in the pronephros anlage (arrowhead). (G) Stage 35, lateral view. Xfz3 mRNA is strongly expressed in the anterior nervous system. Lower levels of
expression are found in the spinal cord. (H, I) Cross-sections corresponding to the embryo in (G) at the levels of midbrain (H) and rhombencephalon (I).
Xfz3 mRNA is localized to the ventricular zone of the midbrain (H) and in the dorso-lateral region in the rhombencephalon (I). Image published in: Shi DL et al. (1998) Copyright © 1998. Image reproduced with permission of the Publisher, Elsevier B. V.
