Fig. 2. xBtg-x induces complete secondary axis formation and rescues UV ventralization. (A) Uninjected control embryos at stage 40. (B) Axis duplication in an embryo injected at the 8-cell stage once ventrally with 0.8 ng xBtg-x mRNA (55%, n = 147). (C) Embryo co-injected with xBtg-x mRNA and 200 pg δN-XTcf-3 mRNA. Note the absence of ectopic axes (0%, n = 36). (D, E) Histological analysis of uninjected and xBtg-x-injected embryos; en, endoderm; no, notochord; nt, neural tube; so, somite. (F) Ventralized embryo after UV irradiation. (G) Complete rescue of the ventralized phenotype by a single injection of 0.8 ng xBtg-x mRNA at the 8-cell stage.
