Fig. 4. FGF signaling in the recombinants. (A) FGF3, FGF4 and
FGF8 are expressed in the DLMZ cultivated in isolation, from stage
10.25 to stage 14 (lanes 3-6; DLMZ dissected at stage 10.25 and cultivated up
to the stage indicated). (B) FGFRs are differentially expressed in the DLMZ-AC
(lane 5) and DMZ-AC (lane 7) recombinants. In particular, FGFR1 and
FGFR4a expression is maintained at stage 18 in AC-DMLZ recombinants
(lane 5). (C) Isolated animal caps do not express FGF3, FGF4 or FGF8. (D)
SU5402 treatment does not suppress FGFR1 and FGFR4a expression in the
recombinants.
