Fig. 6

VP16-mbx expression inhibits eye and tectum formation. VP16-mbx mRNA (10 pg) together with β-galactosidase mRNA (300 pg), was injected into 1- to 2-cell-stage zebrafish embryos. (A, B) Live embryos at 25 hpf; injection of VP16-mbx caused a small eye phenotype (B). (C–F) In situ hybridization with mab21l2 (C), rx1 (D), and otx2 (E, F) at the 15-somite stage. Both mab21l2 and rx1 (purple staining) expression are smaller on the side that received the VP16-mbx mRNA injection (C, D), while otx2 expression is not affected (E). Red staining indicates the β-gal injection tracer.
