Fig. 3. Whole-mount in situ hybridization analysis of xTsg-2 and xTsg expression. (A,C) xTsg-2 expression at stage 27 and (B,D) stage 33 embryos showing expression in the branchial arches (ba), neural crest (nc), lateral plate mesoderm (lpm) and head mesenchyme (hm). Embryos in C and D were made transparent in Murray�s Clearing Solution (2:1 benzyl benzoate: benzyl alcohol) to visualize the expression of xTsg-2 localized to the midbrain-hindbrain border, the isthmus (is). D is a close up of the embryo in B. (E) Stage 27 and (F) stage 33 embryos stained for xTsg and cleared in Murray�s solution reveal expression in the dorsal eye (ey), heart anlage (he) and proctodeum (pro), as well as in the posterior wall (pw) of the tailbud. cg, cement gland; fb, forebrain; hb, hindbrain; pn, pronephros.
