Fig. 6. Loss of Tbx1 function specifically disrupts the expression of
Fgf receptor 1 in the caudal pharyngeal arches. (A-C) Whole-mount
in situ hybridized 35ss embryos of the indicated genotypes. Note the
Tbx1 dose-dependent reduction in Fgfr1 expression in arches 3-6 (red
arrowheads and bracket), and the preserved expression in arches 1 and 2, and
the limb bud. This finding was consistent in 6/6 heterozygotes and mutants
assayed. (D-E'') Sections reveal decreased Fgfr1
expression in unsegmented endoderm/mesenchyme of the mutant (red arrowheads)
compared with the control (black arrowheads).
