Abd-B distribution in wild-type, bicoid, hid bicoid and torso;bicoid embryos. Lateral views of stage 8 (A,B) and stage 15 (C–F) wild-type (A,C), bicoid (B,D), hid bicoid (E) and torso;bicoid (F) mutants labeled with anti-Abd-B antibodies. Wild-type embryos (A,C) contain Abd-B protein in the posterior region only. In bicoid mutant embryos (B,D), Abd-B protein is present at the posterior and at the anterior pole (see arrow in B). The brackets in C–E indicate the dorsally located component of Abd-B expression that develop into telson structures. Cell death clears part of the mis-specified area at the anterior (open arrow in D). Tissue clearance does not occur in hid bicoid double mutants (E). The red arrows in C–E indicate the relative position that specifies A8 segments in wild-type (C), bicoid (D) and hid bicoid (E) mutants. In torso; bicoid double mutants (F), the dorsally located component of anterior Abd B expression as well as the ventral and the posterior component are cleared (open arrows in F).
