Fig. 3. Electroporation of a plasmid driving Spalt4 expression induces
the expression of ectopic vesicles. (A) Embryo electroporated with
a control GFP plasmid. (B) Embryo in A hybridized with Sox10
RNA probe. (C) Magnified view of embryo in A. (D) Sox10
in situ hybridization of control embryo in C. (E) Embryo electroporated
with Spalt4-GFP construct. A number of ectopic vesicles are visible
(arrows). (F) The ectopic vesicles in the Spalt4
electroporated embryo in E express Sox10 (arrows). (G) Embryo
electroporated with Spalt4-GFP construct. A number of ectopic
vesicles are visible (arrows). (H) The ectopic vesicles in the
Spalt4 electroporated embryo in G express Notch1 (arrows). (I)
Embryo electroporated with Spalt4-GFP construct. A number of ectopic
vesicles are visible (arrows). (J) The ectopic vesicles in the
Spalt4 electroporated embryo in (I) express EphA4 (arrows).
OtV, otic vesicle; BA, branchial arch.
