Fig. 10. Xcyr61 induces formation of cement glands in Xenopus
animal caps and synergises with a truncated BMP receptor (tBR) to induce
additional heads. (A) Xenopus embryo at stage 32 showing expression
of the cement gland marker XAG1. (B) Induction of XAG1 in
animal caps by Xcyr61. (C) Induction of a partial secondary axis by tBR (15
out of 46 cases). (D) Induction of a partial secondary axis by Xcyr61 (19 out
of 90 cases). (E) Induction of an additional head by co-expression of tBR and
Xcyr61 (18 out of 83 cases; an additional 18 embryos displayed partial
secondary axes). Muscle in C and D is marked by monoclonal antibody
12/101.
