Fig. 2 Expression of lacZ in F1 transgenic embryos. F1 embryos from line EF-head were fixed at the early gastrula and stained with X-Gal. Three embryos which express lacZ show readily discernible blue staining (A). Expression patterns of lines EF-blue (B), EF-head (C), EF-patchy (D), and EF-neuron (E) are shown at different developmental stages. Expression of lacZ in embryos from line EF-neuron is restricted to the CaP motoneurons in the spinal cord (F, G, and H). sc, spinal cord. n, notochord. The distribution of lacZ-expressing CaP cells is variable between embryos as shown from the dorsal view (I).
