FIG. 3. GREUL1 makes ectoderm competent to respond to neural-inducing signals. (A) Animal cap explants were cut at stage 8�9 and transplanted into the lateral flanks of stage 14 embryos. At stage 28, transplants were stained with Nrp1 and lacZ. (B) GREUL1-overexpressing grafts were cut from the lateral flanks of stage 14 embryos and grafted into uninjected controls. At stage 28, the graft is visible by its punctuate pattern of Nrp1 expression. (C) GREUL1-overexpressing neural tubes were grafted into uninjected control embryos and analyzed for Nrp1 expression. Nrp1-positive cells outside the graft were not observed (red arrow). Image published in: Borchers AG et al. (2002) Copyright © 2002. Image reproduced with permission of the Publisher, Elsevier B. V.
