Fig. 1. Expression of hnRNP K in whole-mount embryos. (A) Stage 10
gastrula; hnRNP K was found in all germ layers, but was most intense in
mesectoderm (M). yp, yolk plug. (B) Stage 15 neural plate; hnRNP K
staining intensified in mesectoderm. NF, neural plate and adjacent neural
folds; NC, notochord; SM, somitic mesoderm. (C-F) Stage 22 tailbud (C),
stage 37/38 tadpole (D), stage 42 tadpole (E,F). hnRNP K was abundant in brain
and spinal cord (SC), in aligned nuclei of somitic muscle (unlabeled
arrowheads) and all retinal layers by stage 42 (E). OV, optic vesicle; RGC,
retinal ganglion cell layer; IN, interneuron layer; PR, photoreceptor layer;
CF, choroidal fissure. NC, notochord. Scale bars: in A, 100 µm for A-D; 50
µm in E,F.
