Fig. 1. Expression of Notch target genes of the cHes5 family is repressed by
DAPT treatment. (A-F) Stage HH12 embryos cultured for 24 hours in
control (A,C,E) or DAPT-containing (B,D,F) medium and processed for
whole-mount in situ hybridisation for cHes5.1, cHes5.2 or
cHes5.3; dorsal views, with anterior on the left. In control
specimens, all cHes5 genes are expressed in the neural tube, and in the
anterior (arrows) and posterior (arrowheads) domains of the otic cup, although
the expression of cHes5.2 (C) appears fainter and more restricted
than that of cHes5.1 (A) and cHes5.3 (E). After 24 hours in
DAPT medium, the cHes5 genes are no longer detected in the neural tube or in
the otic cup (asterisks in B,D,F). For each Hes gene analysed, the DAPT and
control embryos shown were from the same experimental batch.
