To enable a correlation of vascular corrosion casts with olfactory organs' anatomy and morphology one adult female (body weight: 78.8 grams, snout-vent length: 90 mm) and one male
Xenopus (body weight: 78 grams; snout-vent length: 70 mm) were killed by immersion within an overdose of MS 222 (0.5 %; Aldrich Chemicals, St.
Appearance of water channels in
Xenopus oocytes expressing red cell CHIP28 protein.
However, AQP2 may not be essential in aquatic species because the AQP2 gene is absent from the genome of
Xenopus tropicalis (Suzuki and Tanaka, 2009; Shibata et al., 2014b).
Xenopus peroxisome proliferator activated receptors: genomic organization, response element recognition, heterodimer formation with retinoid X receptor and activation by fatty acids.
A whole-mount immunocytochemical analysis of the expression of the intermediate filament protein vimentin in
Xenopus. Development 105, 61-74.
Xenopus laevis are able to migrate long distances in search of available habitat, especially through irrigation channels (Lobos and Jaksic, 2005; Lobos et al., 2013).
In addition, metamorphosis of twin
Xenopus tadpoles could not be observed in this experiment.
The cell cycle dependent change in subcellular localization of MCMs in yeast and
Xenopus proposed these proteins to be replication licensing factors [8, 15, 19].
In terms of early axon development these stages were equivalent to zebrafish stages 16 hours post fertilisation (hpf) to 24 hpf,
Xenopus stages 22 to 32, chick stages HH11 to HH18, and mouse stages E8.5 to E10.5 (data not published).
Additionally, our lab has shown that overexpression of TIMP-2 and -3 during
Xenopus laevis development leads to axial and neural tube defects [12].
Fortunately, spindles (30 to 50 um in length) that self-organized in
Xenopus egg extracts, as used in our study, have no cell membranes around them, permitting direct manipulation.
