Fig. 2. Expression of the Tgfb3 and Irf6 genes is unaffected
in Snai2-/- and
Snai1+/-
Snai2-/- palates at E14.5. (A-C) In situ
hybridization showing expression of Tgfb3 along the MES of control
embryos and clear expression at the adjacent but unfused MEE of mutant
embryos. (D-F) The Irf6 gene is expressed throughout the oral
and nasal epithelia in both control and mutant embryos. ps, palatal shelf.
