Fig. 4. Formation of the Wg gradient is severely affected in cells that are
homozygous mutant for ttv, sotv and ttv, sotv. In this and
subsequent figures, antibody staining is in red. The boundaries of informative
clones are outlined in white. Staining for extracellular Wg reveals a shallow
gradient in the wing pouch that is strongly reduced in clones of ttv
(A,D), sotv (B,E) and ttv, sotv (C,F) that cross the Wg
expression domain. Arrows draw attention to regions near the prospective wing
margin, where a sharp decrease in extracellular wingless levels is visible
across the clone boundary. Mutant clones of ttv (G), sotv
(H) and ttv, sotv (I) that cross the Wg stripe cause a less dramatic
reduction in cytoplasmic Wg levels.
