Fig. 6. Expression of Fgf8, Fgf4 and Gre in ozd limb
buds. (A,B) Fgf8 is expressed at high level throughout the
ozd AER. The AP extent of the AER is reduced in the narrowed
ozd limb. (C) At st. 27, Fgf8 appears down regulated in the
anterior AER but expression persists at high levels in the posterior AER.
(D,E) Fgf4 expression in the mutant AER is reduced except at the most
posterior edge, where a spot of elevated expression became apparent by st. 23.
Note that the specimens in D and E have been analyzed for both Fgf4
and Shh expression. (F) By st. 25, Fgf4 expression has
declined in the mutant AER except for the posterior spot of high-level
expression. (G-I) Gre expression in ozd and wild-type limbs.
ozd limb buds express Gre but, contrary to normal, its
spatial domain of expression expands to the posterior border. In all the
panels anterior is up.
