Fig. 4. The RAR
-selective (BMS753) and the RAR
-selective (BMS961)
agonists, induce ectopic expression of the Rare-hsp68-lacZ transgene
in the frontonasal mass and tail, respectively, without altering branchial
arch development. Ventral views (A,D,G) of wild-type embryos, and details of
their pharyngeal (B,E,H) and caudal (C,F,I) regions, after 48 hours in culture
either without retinoid (vehicle) or in the presence of isotype-selective RAR
agonists. B1 and B2, branchial arches 1 and 2, respectively; F, frontonasal
process; H, heart. Arrowheads indicate the first branchial cleft and red
arrows point to the tips of the tails.
