Figure 5. Expression of Fermt2 from stages 22 to 34. A, B: At stage 22, Fermt2 transcripts are detected in the migratory neural crest, clearly revealed by transverse section (B). C: By stage 25, expression persists in the neural crest (arrow) and becomes detectable within the somites (lateral view, C and dorsal view, D). E, F: Transverse sections through mid-axial levels of a stage-29 embryo reveal the somitic expression (F). Fermt2 transcripts are also detected in Rohon Beard neurons (E, boxed area shown in high magnification, inset, black arrows). At stage 30 (G) and 34 (H) expression persists within the neural crest and somites and is clearly seen in a transverse section (I) from a mid axial level. Asterisk in H demarcates cardiac neural crest. White lines in A and H indicate the levels at which sections are shown in B and I, respectively. Image published in: Canning CA et al.
