Fig. 5. Molecular characterisation of NT embryos with abnormal morphologies.
Whole-mount in situ hybridisation showing the expression of brachyury
(A-D), Nodal (E,F), Bmp4
(G,H), Eomes (I,J) and Cdx2
(K,L) in primitive-streak stage (A,B,E-L) and neural-plate stage
(C,D) embryos. (A,C,E,G,I,K) Controls; (B,F,J) NT embryos with abnormal shape;
(D,H) NT embryos displaying the `large Exe' phenotype. Scale bars: in A, 100
µm for A,B, 50 µm for C,D; in E, 100 µm for E-L.
