FIG. 3. Expression of Xcml RNA during Xenopus development. (A) Temporal expression of Xcml mRNA studied by Northern blot analysis of embryo poly(A)1 RNA, developmental stages are indicated on top. (B) Spatial pattern of Xcml mRNA expression revealed by whole-mount in situ hybridization with Xcml antisense digoxigenin-labeled RNA probe, stages 10.5 (B), 11 (C), 12 (D), and 16 (E, posterior view shown). Note that Xcml is expressed in the area around the closing blastopore during the entire gastrulation stage. Soon after involution, cells cease to express Xcml, as visible on sagittal sections of Xcml-hybridized embryos at the stages 10.5 (F) and 12 (G, H). (H) The dorsal lip viewed with higher magnification. Indicated are dorsal lip (dl); ventral lip (vl), archenteron (arc), noninvoluting deep cells of neuroectoderm (ninv), involuted (inv) mesodermal cells, and deep layer of mesoderm (mes).
