Fig. 7. Rescue of edn1 expression by transplanted endodermal cells in
vgo/tbx1 embryos. Transplanted cells in brown (labeled with biotin)
and edn1 expression in blue. (A) Expression of edn1 in a 27
hpf wild-type control embryo. (B) vgo/tbx1 host embryo in which
transplanted wild-type cells induced upregulation of edn1 (arrows).
(C) vgo/tbx1 host embryo, in which Tar*-injected endodermal cells
contributed to the pharynx on only one side. On the control side,
edn1 expression is weak and disorganized. The side that received
endodermal cells (brown cells, arrows) shows much stronger expression of
edn1, which includes cells located several cell diameters away from
the transplanted cells (arrowheads point at pigment cells). Flat mounts in
dorsal views with anterior towards the left in all panels.
