GFP reporter expression driven by BAC16. Embryos of Xenopus laevis at neural plate (AD: dorsal view, anterior to the left) and tailbud stages (A’D’, A”,B”: lateral view, anterior to the left) after injection with BAC16 reporter constructs at the one-cell stage. A–A”, B–B”: GFP expression after injection of full length BAC16 reporter (BAC16-FL) in living Xenopus embryos (AA”) or as revealed by GFP in situ hybridization (B–B”). C,C’: Absence of GFP expression domains after injection of BAC16-P2D3 deletion construct. D,D’: GFP expression domains after injection of BAC16-P2D4 deletion construct recapitulate those observed after BAC16-FL injection. Insert in D’ shows somitic expression in trunk region of a different embryo (tail end to the right). Abbreviations: epi: epidermis; le: lens placode; ll: lateral line placodes; np: neural plate; olf: olfactory placode; ot: otic placode/vesicle; pp: pharyngeal pouches; PPR: preplacodal region; som: somites.
