Larger Image Figure 3. Spatial distribution of FRIED transcripts in Xenopus embryos. Wholemount in situ hybridization analysis has been carried out with digoxygenin-labeled FRIED anti-sense RNA probes with embryos at different developmental stages. A: Stage 10, animal pole is at the top, dorsal is to the right. FRIED RNA is detectable in animal pole ectoderm of a bisected embryo. B,C: At stage 10+, FRIED transcripts are visible in the dorsal blastopore lip. A,B: Saggital view. C: Vegetal pole view. D: Stage 14, dorsal view, anterior is at the top. FRIED is expressed in anterior ectoderm area and around closed blastopore at the beginning of neurulation. E: Tailbud stage, anterior is to the left. FRIED transcripts are clearly detectable in the brain and spinal cord, eyes and otic vesicles, and in lateral plate mesoderm. A control RNA probe did not produce similar staining patterns (data not shown). Image published in: Itoh K et al. (2005) Copyright © 2005.
