Fig. 7. Scx is expressed throughout the undifferentiated
Sox5-/-; Sox6-/- skeletal elements.
Section in situ hybridization for Scx (A,D,G,J,M,P,O,R),
lacZ (C,F,I,L), and Sox9 (N,Q) on sections through E14.5
Sox5+/-; Sox6+/- (A-C,G-I,M-O) or
Sox5-/-; Sox6-/- (D-F,J-L,P-R)
embryos. (B,E,H,K) Alcian Blue staining. (O,R) Combined section in situ
hybridization and immunohistochemistry for Scx (purple) and myosin
heavy chain (brown), respectively. (A-F) Transverse sections through
vertebrae. Green arrows indicate vertebral bodies; red arrows, neural arches.
(G-R) Transverse sections through ribs.
