Fig. 6. tfap2a and tfap2b are co-expressed in the ectoderm, but
only tfap2a is expressed in pharyngeal arch NCCs. Transverse
cryosections through the pharyngeal region of embryos at 26 hpf (A-C) and 36
hpf (D-F) labeled by in situ hybridization with riboprobes to dlx2
(A,D), tfap2a (B,E) and tfap2b (C,F). Left side views, with
the pharyngeal lumen, neural tube and notochord at the midline lying to the
right. Arrowheads in D indicate unlabeled surface ectoderm. Scale bars: 50
µm.
