Fig. 8. Non-migrating CNC cells also adopt neural fate after heterotopic
transplantation into the pharyngeal pouch area. (A) Xcad-11-expressing
transplant was found to be twist negative in whole-mount in situ hybridisation
but (B) positive for 2G9 neural marker expression in immunostaining. (C)
Transplant from a donor co-injected with
cXcad-11 and ß-catenin
RNA was twist negative in whole-mount in situ hybridisation but (D) positive
for 2G9. (E) Transplant from a donor co-injected with
cXcad-11 and
ß-catenin RNA shows nrp-1 expression in whole-mount in situ
hybridisation. (F) Higher magnification of the transplant seen in E. (G)
GFP-Myc immunostaining of the section shown in F. (H) N-Tubulin-positive
transplant from a donor injected with
cXcad-11 RNA. (I) GFP-Myc
immunostaining of the section shown in H. (J) NeuroD-positive transplant from
a donor injected with
cXcad-11 RNA. (K) GFP-Myc immunostaining of the
section shown in J. Donor embryos were injected either with 1 ng Xcad-11, 2.5
ng
cXcad-11 or 2.5 ng
cXcad-11 plus 80 pg ß-catenin RNA.
