Fig. 8. Grafts of dorsal diencephalic tissue inhibit ZLI propagation. (A,B) Stage
13-14 dorsal diencephalic grafts were excised from a region containing
Wnt3a-expressing cells (A), and intermediate telencephalic grafts
from a region containing Foxg1-expressing cells (B). (C-F) Expression
of Wnt3a (red, C) and Foxg1 (red, D) in relation to Shh
(blue, D) after 2 days in culture. The propagation of Shh expression
in the ZLI was inhibited adjacent to dorsal diencephalic grafts (E), but not
in telencephalic controls (F). Dashed circles indicate grafted tissue.
