FIG. 7. Brightfield and darkfield photomicrographs of serial coronal sections from late larval stage 63 midbrain (mb) and the more ventral anterior (AL) and intermediate (IL) pituitary lobes, showing the relationship of .Xlim-3 gene expression (A) to that of neuropeptide genes for prolactin and growth hormone (B) and proopiomelanocortin (C) (Hayes and Loh, 1990). Xlim-3 mRNA is expressed in both lobes but not midbrain and is not correlated with the expression of a particular neuropeptide; furthermore, Xli»t-3 mRNA abundance appears to be much lower than that of the neuropeptide mRNAs. Calibration bar is 200 um. Image published in: Taira M et al. (1993) Copyright © 1993. Image reproduced with permission of the Publisher, Elsevier B. V.
