Fig. 4. Whole-mount in situ hybridization analysis of Xenopus vitronectin mRNA expression. Developmental stages (Nieuwkoop and Faber, 1967) shown are (A) stages 37–38, (B) stage 39, (C) stage 40, (D) stage 43 and (E) stage 44. The vitronectin transcripts were first detected at embryonic stages 37–38 in the outline of the heart and gastrointestinal tract. At later stages, the expression in these embryonic regions was increased and at stage 43 it starts to be detected in the notochord. he, heart; li, liver; asterisk, gastrointestinal area; arrows, notochord.
