Figure 2. Gene trap embryos expressing GFP in different tissues. The top left panel shows a side view and ventral view of two tadpoles. The colored boxes outline the regions and orientation used to take each picture. (a,b) SA1 and SA2 were generated using the SAGT vector. GFP expression in SA1 was ubiquitous. (a) A magnified view of the head from SA1. Note strong expression in the lens. (b) View of the tail from SA2. Note strong expression in the somites. (c-e) SEδ1, 2 and 3 were three separate embryos containing the SEδGT gene trap vector. Each embryo expressed GFP in a distinct manner. (c) SEδ1 expressed GFP in the inner ear (otoconia; arrow), (d) SEδ2 expressed GFP in neurons flanking the spinal cord and (e) SEδ3 expressed GFP in the coiled intestine. The white dots outline the eye in (c). Image published in: Bronchain OJ et al. (1999) Copyright © 1999. Image reproduced with permission of the Publisher, Elsevier B. V.
