Fig. 2. Results of DG loss-of-function experiments. (A) Stage 45 Xenopus embryo injected at four cells stage with 8 ng of Mo-X-DG plus 250 pg of GFP cRNA. The injected side is indicated by the green staining; white brackets highlight reduction of the eye size in the injected side (left) compared to the uninjected, control side (right). (B, C) Transversal section of a stage 32 injected embryo in which specific DG immunostaining (in red) is lost in neural tube (nt) and eye (E) of the Mo-X-DG-injected side and in some cells of the other side, where diffusion of the injected material sporadically happens. Fluorescent green labeling shows the injected side of the embryo in panel C. Image published in: Lunardi A et al. (2006) Copyright © 2006.
