Fig. 1. ADAM19 expression. Quantitative real-time PCR expression of ADAM19 during early Xenopus development. Polyadenylated RNA from 2.5 embryos was used to make cDNA. PCR amplification was performed on a light cycler for 40 cycles. (A) The amplification product from both the control (−RT) and the experimental (+RT) were separated on a 2% agarose gel. (B) The relative abundance of the ADAM19 mRNA was measured by the 2(-δCT) method using stage 10 as a value of 1. Values are not adjusted to a control gene but to identical number of embryos. The CT values for each reaction are given below the graph. No CT values were obtained for the −RT control of each stage. ADAM19 mRNA is present as a maternal transcript at stage 2. Zygotic transcription starts during gastrulation and increases during neurulation (stage 16) continuing into early tailbud stage (stage 21).
