Figure 5

Absent migration of xenotransplanted MAPRE2 deficient neural crest progenitors in chicken embryos. Representative whole mount bright field and fluorescent images of chicken embryos at development stage HH 20 with corresponding sagittal sections. Embryos have been transplanted with EBs at day 5 of neural crest differentiation49, generated from EmGFP tagged MAPRE2 deficient iPSCs. Sagittal sections have been stained against endogenous EmGFP. WT/WT cells are observed migrating into the branchial arches and facial mesenchyme on whole mount and in sections, indicated by white arrows. Q152*KI/WT cells emerge from the EB but fail to migrate away towards the branchial arches and facial mesenchyme (indicated by white arrows). Complete MAPRE2 knock out cells (Q152*KI/Q152*KI) fail to emerge from the EB and migrate. (Ant. anterior, Vent. ventral, Dor. dorsal, Post. posterior).
