Fig. 8. Cbfa1 expression in the branchial arches. Cbfa1
expression was analyzed by in situ hybridization on wild-type (A),
Hoxa2-/- (B) and
Hoxa2-/-;Ptx1-/- (C) E11.5 embryos.
The asterisks indicate the location of the external acoustic meatus (in the
first pharyngeal cleft). The arrow indicates the extra domain of
Cbfa1 expression in the second arch (not seen in the wild-type
embryo). 1st, first branchial arch.
