Fig. 5. Pharyngeal arch (PA) development. (A-C) Phosphohistone H3
immunostained PA sections (E10.5). PA1 is labeled, arrowheads indicate PA2.
(D,E) Fgf8 whole-mount in situ hybridization (PA
region); arrows indicate PA2 Fgf8 expression domain lost in mutant
embryos. (F-H) Migrating NCCs in the pharyngeal region of
stage-matched embryos, visualized by Sox10 in situ hybridization.
Arrows indicate limits of NCC migration into PA1, 2. (I-L) Nile Blue
staining of cell death in the pharyngeal region (E10.5). I/J and K/L are
stage-matched control/mutant embryo pairs.
