Ectopic Nodal-Induced Patterning at the Animal Pole Mimics Patterning at the Margin (A) Schematic of generation of Ndr1-expressing clones. Single blastomeres are injected at the 128-cell stage (2.25 hpf), fixed at germ ring stage (5.7 hpf) and stained using FISH or immunohistochemistry. (B) Animal views of germ ring-stage embryos containing Ndr1-expressing clones marked with dextran-fluorescein (dex) and stained for indicated markers. (C) As in (B), but for fgf3 and fgf8a. (D) Germ ring-stage embryos containing Ndr1-expressing clones, stained by immunohistochemistry for P-Erk and P-Smad2. Single panels are shown and a merge. The merge on the far right shows the Ndr1-expressing cells labeled with dex (white) with staining for P-Smad2 (green). (E) Schematic representation of gene expression in surrounding Ndr1-expressing clones. Scale bars, 100 μm. See also Figure S3. |
