Assay
Reference: J:18225 Gaunt SJ, et al., Forward spreading in the establishment of a vertebrate Hox expression boundary: the expression domain separates into anterior and posterior zones, and the spread occurs across implanted glass barriers. Dev Dyn. 1994 Mar;199(3):229-40
Assay type: RNA in situ
MGI Accession ID: MGI:5818138
Gene symbol: Hoxa4
Gene name: homeobox A4
Probe: Hoxa4 probe2
Probe preparation: Antisense labelled with digoxigenin RNA
Results
Specimen 6F: embryonic day 8.75 (more )
Note: 15-17 somites.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: primitive streak Present Regionally restricted 6F The posterior zone of expression was centered on the primitive streak.
TS13: neural ectoderm Present Regionally restricted 6F There were posterior zone and anterior zone expression domains, with an intermediate zone that was marked by much weaker, or even absent staining.
TS13: somite Present Regionally restricted 6F Expression was located predominantly over a group of about six contiguous somites followed, more posteriorly, by a progressive anterior-posterior decline in expression.

Specimen 6G: embryonic day 8.75 (more )
Note: 15-17 somites.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: primitive streak Present Regionally restricted 6G The posterior zone of expression was centered on the primitive streak.
TS13: neural ectoderm Present Regionally restricted 6G There were posterior zone and anterior zone expression domains, with an intermediate zone that was marked by much weaker, or even absent staining.
TS13: somite Present Regionally restricted 6G Expression was located predominantly over a group of about six contiguous somites followed, more posteriorly, by a progressive anterior-posterior decline in expression.
