Fig. 5. Expression of Xenopus laevis USF genes in the CNS at the tailbud stage. Sections of embryos stained by WMISH are shown. A and B are images from embryos stained by USF probes (A, USF1; B, USF2). The positions of sections aâd in the embryos are indicated in Fig. 3K and V. Higher-magnification views of the neural tube in panels aâd are shown in panels eâh. CâG are the corresponding sections [from the embryos stained by WMISH with CNS specification markers from dorsal to ventral: C, Msx1 as marker of roof plate ([Liem et al., 1995] and [Schlosser and Ahrens, 2004]); D, Lim1 as alar plate (Taira et al., 1994); E, Pax2 as lateral part of CNS ([Mansouri et al., 1996] and [Heller and Brandli, 1999]); F, Lim3 as basal plate (Taira et al., 1993); G, FoxA2 as floor plate (Lee et al., 1997)]. Arrowheads indicate the pronephros. br, brain; nc, notochord; ov, otic vesicle; ey, eye; ba, branchial arches.
