Fig. 5. Effects of Livertine of cell position. (A,B) Pattern of RLDx fluorescent labeling in embryos (stage -14-15) injected with RLDx alone into blastomere B1 at the 32-ceil stage (A) and in those similarly injected with RLDx and Livertine mRNA (B). In both cases dorsal views are shown. Note the greater scattering of cells (arrows) detected in embryos injected with Livertine. (B) Pattern offl-gal expression in embryos (early stage 9) injected with plasmids driving the expression of LacZ only (C) or LacZ plus Livertine (D) into a small area of the animal pole at the 2-4-cell stage. In both cases views of the animal pole are shown. Some embryos show damage in their ventral sides that occurred during preparation for photography. Note the greater dispersion offl-gal + cells in Livertine injected embryos. Scale bar: (A,B) 330/.tm; (C,D) 720/~m. Image published in: Ruiz i Altaba A and Théry C (1996) Copyright © 1996.
