Fig. 5. Gli3 is not required to establish the mes/r1 roof plate.
(A-F) RNA in situ hybridization for Gdf7 and Wnt1 on
transverse sections of E9.5 mouse embryos. Gdf7 and Wnt1 are
expressed in the roof plate (RP) in the WT and mutant embryos. Note that the
Wnt1-positive domain in the lateral mes (*) is in the
isthmic region. (G-J) RNA in situ hybridization for Msx1 and
Axin2 on E10.5 transverse sections shows that RP expression is not
changed in Gli3-/- mutants. (K) Plane of section is
indicated in this schematic. The neural tube is outlined where necessary.
Scale bars: 100 µm.
