Fig. 2. alk expression pattern in Xenopus laevis. mRNA in situ hybridisation for alk and neural crest markers, sox10 and twist, in Xenopus laevis embryos at stages 8, 13, 17, 26, 37 and 42 (Nieuwkoop and Faber, 1994). Animal (A, D and G) and lateral (A′, D′ and G′) view of stage 8 embryos (alk n = 11, sox10 n = 5, twist n = 4). Dorsal (B, E and H) and anterior (B′, E′ and H′) view of stage 13 embryos (alk n = 12, sox10 n = 4, twist n = 2). Dorsal (C, F and I) and anterior (C′, F′ and I′) view of stage 17 embryos (alk n = 7, sox10 n = 4, twist n = 4). Lateral view (J, M and P) of stage 26 embryos and zoomed insets (grey rectagles) of embryos heads (J′, M′ and P′), showing otic vesicles (OV) and neural crest streams (yellow arrowheads) (alk n = 8, sox10 n = 7, twist n = 5). Lateral view (K, N and Q) of stage 37 embryos (alk n = 10, sox10 n = 7, twist n = 5) and stage 42 embryos. Lateral view (L, O and R) of stage 42 embryos (alk n = 11, sox10 n = 5, twist n = 7).
