Fig. 2. Analysis of p120 expression in early Xenopus embryos by whole mount in situ hybridization. Spatial expression of p120 was evaluated by whole mount in situ hybridization using an antisense Xp120iso1 RNA probe. Expression of p120 is enriched in the animal hemisphere at the blastula stage (a); the optic vesicles (OV) at the neurula stage (b); the optic vesicle (OV), ear vesicle (EV), olfactory placode (OP) and branchial arches (BA) in the head region and also the somites (S), notochord (NT) and pronephros (P) at tailbud (stage 30) (c). (d) Transverse section through a stage 30 tailbud embryo showing increased p120 expression in somites, notochord and pronephros. Image published in: Ciesiolka M et al. (2004) Copyright © 2004.
