Figure 8. Cm-XBMP-7 induces anterior neuroectoderm markers but not posterior ones. RT-PCR analysis of XAG1, Xotx2, KroxZO, and XlHbox6 markers. Whole control embryos (lane I) and uninjected control animal caps (lane 2). Injection of Cm- XBMP-7 mRNA at 4.0 and 0.8 ng induces XAGI, but Xotx2 is induced only at 4.0 ng (lanes 3,4). Injection of 6.0 and 1.5 ng truncated activin (AAR) and BMP (ABR) receptor mRNAs induce anterior (XAG1, Xotx2) but not posterior markers (Krox 20, XlHbox6) (lanes 5-8). All samples are stage 25 equivalent.
