Figure 4. Heparanase expression during neurulation, organogenesis, and in tailbud embryos. Immunohistochemistry of whole embryos (A,D–G) and sections (B,C) at different stages of development using the αXHpa antibody. A: Dorsal view of a stage 20 embryo (anterior up). B,C: Transverse sections of tadpole stage embryos (dorsal up). D–G: Lateral (D,E), ventral (F), and dorsal (G) views of tadpole stage embryos. A higher magnification view of D is shown in E. C, cloaca; E, eye; G, gill; Gn, ganglion; H, heart; Kpd, kidney pronephric duct; Kpt, kidney pronephric tubule; L, liver; OP, olfactory placode; OV, otic vesicle; PG, pineal gland; Rh, rhombencephalon; S, somites; NT, neural tube; Te, tectum.Download figure to PowerPoint Image published in: Bertolesi GE et al.
