Fig. 3 EphA4 and EfnB2a mediate hindbrain boundary sharpening during the neural keel stage. Whole mount (A) and 10 μm plastic sections (B–G) of RNA in situ hybridizations with a krox20/egr2b riboprobe. Anterior is to the left, dorsal or lateral views are indicated. Left panels show uninjected control embryos; right panels show stage-matched EphA4; EfnB2a double MO embryos. (A) Neural plate stage (N = 20); (B) neural plate to neural keel transition; (C,D) successive neural keel stages; (E,F) successive neural rod stages; (G) neural tube stage. Nc: r5-derived neural crest. Representative sections for each timepoint were chosen from at least 8 identically treated embryos. Scale bar: 50 μm.
