Morpholinos reduced the levels of normal transcripts of mif-like, iclp1, and iclp2. (A) RT-PCR of mif-like transcripts from uninjected, control MO injected, mif morpholinos injected and mif morpholinos plus capped RNAs injected 50-hpf embryos. Predicted size of normal transcript is 512 bp; predicted transcript blocked by mif-like MO = 336 bp. (B) RT-PCR of iclp1 and iclp2 transcripts from control MO-injected, iclp morpholinos injected and iclp morpholinos plus capped RNAs injected 50-hpf embryos. Predicted size of normal iclp1 product = 523 bp, transcript lacking exon 2 = 353 bp. Predicted size of normal iclp2 product = 525 bp, transcript lacking exon 2 = 364 bp.
