Fig. 6. The activity of both Her5 and Him is necessary to prevent neurogenesis in
the lateral IZ. Dorsal views of flat-mounted -8.4ngn1::egfp
transgenic embryos (Blader et al.,
2003) probed at the three-somite stage for egfp
expression (blue) after injection of 1 mM her5MOATG + 0.25
mM himGripNAATG (A), 1 mM her5MOATG
(B), 0.25 mM himGripNAATG (C), compared to an uninjected
control (D). A' and D' are enlargements of the boxed areas in A
and D, respectively. The IZ is indicated by pax2.1 expression (red
staining). Note that the LIZ is undergoing ectopic neurogenesis only in the
embryo injected with both her5MOATG and
himGripNAATG (blue arrows).
