Fig. 6. Vegetal cells from Mixer-depleted embryos can induce ectopic somite tissue. Schematic of vegetal-cell transplantation experiment shown at top of figure. (A) Progeny from transplanted vegetal cells from control late blastula embryos become endoderm in tailbud stage host embryos (TRITC labeled cells in red, arrows). (B) The progeny of transplanted vegetal cells from Mixer-depleted embryos are found in endoderm and lateral plate mesoderm (arrows). (C) Control host embryo with progeny of wild-type vegetal cells (red) and somite staining (green, 12/101 MAB). (D,E) Ectopic patches of 12/101 positive cells are found near to the progeny of transplanted Mixer-depleted vegetal cells (arrows).
