Fig. 4 HuC expression in embryos injected with dlx3b-ATG-MO and dlx4b-ATG-MO and EnR-dlx3bhd mRNA at 3-somite stage. (A, C, E, G, I) Dorsal views, anterior is to the top. (B, D, F, H, J) Anterior views. (A and B) Wild-type embryos. (C and D) 8 ng dlx3b-MO- and 8 ng dlx4b-MO-injected embryos. (E and F) 16 ng dlx3b-MO- and 16 ng dlx4b-MO-injected embryos. (G and H) 60 pg EnR-dlx3bhd mRNA-injected embryos. (I and J) 120 pg EnR-dlx3bhd mRNA-injected embryos. (A–F) and (G–J) show that the expression of HuC, which is expressed in RB neurons in the trunk (rb) and neurons in trigeminal placodes in the head (tg), is gradually reduced as the concentration of MOs and EnR-dlx3bhd mRNA are increased. In contrast, primary motor neurons (arrowhead) and anterior lateral hindbrain interneurons (li) and anterior medial hindbrain interneurons (mi) are not changed.
