Fig. 7. Summary of immunohistochemical analysis of implanted embryos. Each
filled circle represents one implantation that induced ectopic Wt1 expression.
Open circles represent implantations in which induction was not detectable.
Different colors represent different implanted tissue. Gray filled circles
represent implantations in which induced expression and endogenous
proepicardium (PE) expression could not be distinguished because of their
close proximity. Somite level and the distance between the midline and lateral
edge of the dorsal aorta were used to determine anteroposterior and
mediolateral levels of the implant. Quail-derived inducer tissues were
implanted into stage 10--12- (left), stage
12-13- (middle) or stage 13-14 (right) chick host embryos at
different sites. Induction of Wt1 expression in host tissue was examined by
double immunohistochemistry using anti-Wt1 and QCPN antibodies.
