Figure 1. Induction of apoptosis by injection of Xenopus SAMDC mRNA. (A) A control embryo injected with distilled water. (B) A fertilized egg injected with Xenopus SAMDC mRNA (100 pg), and cultured in a slightly hypertonic 1 X Steinberg’s solution in order to protect dissociated cells from osmotic shock. White cells are dissociated cells. These cells appear in the region where mRNA was injected. Embryos were filmed at early gastrula stage. From Takayama et al. (2004).
