Experiment details for tubb2b

Rogers CD et al. (2009) Assay

Xenopus Sox3 activates sox2 and geminin and indirectly represses Xvent2 expression to induce neural progenitor formation at the expense of non-neural ectodermal derivatives.

  Fig. 1. Sox3 expands the expression of early neural markers and delays the expression of proneural and neuronal markers. (A) WISH of stage 17 neurulae for early neural markers as indicated in lower right corner. (B) WISH of stage 14 neurulae and stage 23 tailbud embryos for the pan-neuronal marker: n-tub and pro-neural marker: neurogenin r-1 ngn. Embryos are injected with sox2 or sox3 (400 or 500 pg) and lacZ (100 pg) mRNA in 1 of 2-cells. Images are a dorsal view with anterior to the bottom and the injected side on the right marked by a black asterisk in the first panel.
