Fig. 4. Hoxa2 is sufficient to repress Six2 in the facial
mesenchyme. (A,B) In-situ hybridization with Six2 probe, in E10.5
wild-type embryo (A) and in E10.5 Msx2-Hoxa2 transgenic embryo (B).
Six2 expression is downregulated in the maxilla (black arrow) and
periocular mesenchyme (white arrow) of Msx2-Hoxa2 embryos. The
corresponding embryo halves hybridized with the Hoxa2 probe are shown
in the insets.
