Figure 6. Phenotype of Sp2null embryos.

Figure 6

A) An Sp2null embryo at E9.5 in comparison to wild type (Sp2wt) and heterozygous (Sp2+/−) littermates. B) An Sp2null embryo at E9.5 in direct comparison to an E8.5 wild type embryo (Sp2wt). C) Serial longitudinal sections of heterozygous Sp2 (Sp2+/−) and Sp2null embryos from day E9.0. Sp2null embryos are smaller, have not turned and have an open cranial neural tube (Nt). Ne, neural epithelium. D) Whole-mount in situ hybridization on E7.5 embryos using the mesodermal marker Brachyury as a probe.
