Fig. 8. Cdx OE embryos show forward shifts in Hoxa7/lacZ expression
without, necessarily, earlier activation. (A-D) At 10.5 days, the
anterior boundaries in prevertebrae (v), lateral plate mesoderm (lpm) and
spinal ganglia (sg) of wild-type (A) and OE (B-D) embryos are shown. The OE2
embryo possesses a club-tail. (E) At 8 to 8.25 days, OE1 and OE4
embryos commence Hox/lacZ activity in the primitive streak region
(white arrows) at apparently the same developmental stage (headfold) as
wild-type (non OE) embryos.
