Figure 2: CaD is expressed in neural crest tissue during early
Xenopus development. Expression of CaD begins at late gastrula
stage (stage 13) at the borders of the forming neural plate, the site of
initial neural crest induction. Its expression increases in the CNC
region by neurula stages (stage 15) and continues in the migrating
neural crest cells as they populate the branchial arches (stage 20
onward). By tailbud stages, the expression decreases and only is
present in part of the ganglia and somite at low levels (stage 26). All
embryos are oriented with anterior to the left. |
