Fig. 4. Normal Hox gene expression in E8.5 eed mutant embryos.
Representative flat-mount images of wild-type (A,C) and
l7Rn51989SB/1989SB mutant
embryos (B,D) following mRNA in situ hybridization with
Hoxa5 (A,B) and Hoxb6 (C,D) antisense cRNA probes. Note that
wild-type and
l7Rn51989SB/1989SB mutant
embryos present the same anterior Hox gene expression boundaries in somites
(s). Arrows denote the first somite and the anterior Hox gene expression
boundary. All images were captured at 50x magnification.
