Fig. 2. Confirmation of selected clones by RT-PCR. Individual clones were analyzed
by RT-PCR in animal caps injected with 1 ng of Smad7 RNA and harvested at
either stage 10.5 (gastrula; A) or stage 15 (neurula; B). Primers were
designed to include either 5' or 3' UTR sequences. Ornithine
decarboxylase (ODC) is used as a loading control and NCAM and NRP1 to control
for neural induction by Smad7.
