Expression of mif and mif-like transcripts in the brain, eye and ear during embryogenesis. (A) RT-PCR results of mif-like mRNA from whole embryos at 12, 26, 36, 54, 60, and 72 hpf. (B–U) Whole mount ISH with mif or mif-like probes. (B–E) Dorsal view of 12-hpf embryos; (F–I) Dorsal view of 14-hpf embryos; (J–M) Lateral view of 24-hpf embryos; (N, P) Lateral view of 36-hpf embryos; (O, Q) Lateral view of 48-hpf embryos; (R–U) Lateral view of 72-hpf larvae. (B, F, J, N, O, R) mif antisense probe; (C, G, K, S) mif sense probe; (D, H, L, P, Q, T) mif-like anti-sense probe; (E, I, M, U) mif-like sense probe. Insets in (O) and (Q) show transverse sections through the ear; the small arrow in inset (Q) indicates hair cells in the anterior macula. Arrowheads: brain; OptV: optic vesicle; OV: otic vesicle; white arrows with black outlines: pectoral fin bud. Scale bar: 100 μm for (B–U); 20 μm for insets.
