FIG. 3. Localization of X-B-catenin (A-C) and X-plakoglobin (D-F) transcripts in neurula (stage 18-19); early tailbud (stage 23-24); and tadpole (stage 33&34)-stage embryos by whole-mount insitu hybridization. Albino embryos were hybridized with single-stranded digoxigenin labeled probes that were transcribed in the sense or antisense orientation from either the X-B-catenin or the X-plakoglobin cDNAs. (A) Antisense X-B-catenin probe hybridized to neurula-stage embryos; patches of hybridization at the anterior end of the embryos are denoted by arrows. X-Plakoglobin antisense probes hybridized to the same region of neurula-stage embryos (data not shown). (B) Tadpole embryos hybridized with an antisense X-B-catenin probe. The cement gland is indicated by arrow 1, the midbrain by arrow 2, the ear placode by arrow 3, and the branchial arches by arrow 4. (0 Early tailbud embryos hybridized with X-B-catenin sense (asterisks) or antisense probes. The anterior ends of the embryos are indicated by arrowheads. (D) Representative embryos hybridized with X-plakolobin probes in the sense orientation. The anterior end of the embryo is indicated by the arrowhead. (E) Early tailbud embryos hybridized with an antisense X-plakoglobin probe. Longitudinal ridges of paraxial mesoderm are denoted by arrows and the anterior ends of the embryos are indicated by arrowheads. (F) Tadpole embryos hybridized with an antisense X-plakoglohin probe. Mesoderm and notochord hybridization are indicated by the arrow. Image published in: DeMarais AA and Moon RT (1992) Copyright © 1992. Image reproduced with permission of the Publisher, Elsevier B. V.
