Fig. 6. Ectopic Ser1 expression in NICD-IRES-GFP transfected cells.
Embryos electroporated at stage HH 13 (E2) with NICD-IRES-GFP
construct. (A) Whole-mount immunostaining 48 hours post-electroporation. Ser1
is detected in its normal broad ventromedial domain of the otocyst, with a
clear limit of expression (dashed line). It is also detected ectopically in
NICD-IRES-GFP transfected cells (arrows). (B) Transverse
cryosections 5 days post-electroporation. The saccular macula shows normal
Ser1 expression, while ectopic Ser1 expression is seen in a cluster of
GFP-positive transfected cells (arrow). S, saccular macula.
