Congenic method in the chick limb buds by electroporation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electroporation is a powerful tool with which to study limb development. Limb development, however, remains an intricate series of events, requiring the precise dissection of developmental processes using relevant transgenes. In this review, we describe the anatomy of the limb field as the basis of targeted electroporation, and specific expression vectors are discussed. We share a useful protocol for electroporation of chick limb buds, and the expression pattern of enhanced green fluorescent protein in the limb buds is used to demonstrate relevant embryonic patterning. Finally, useful trouble-shooting techniques are described.

Cyclosporine Effects on Chick Limb Bud Mesenchyme and DNA Content
Background: Cyclosporine A (CsA) is a powerful immunosuppressive agent, which is used for the prevention of allograft rejection and for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Many transplant recipients must take this medicine for the rest of their lives. Females in reproductive age group on prolonged CsA therapy have legitimate concerns about drug effects on pregnancy. Objective: To explore Cs...
متن کاملAltered expression of the chicken homeobox-containing genes GHox-7 and GHox-8 in the limb buds of limbless mutant chick embryos.
It has been suggested that the reciprocal expression of the chicken homeobox-containing genes GHox-8 and GHox-7 by the apical ectodermal ridge and subjacent limb mesoderm might be involved in regulating the proximodistal outgrowth of the developing chick limb bud. In the present study the expression of GHox-7 and GHox-8 has been examined by in situ and dot blot hybridization in the developing l...
متن کاملLimb Development: The budding role of FGF
Implantation of beads soaked in fibroblast growth factor into the flank of a chick embryo causes extra limbs to be formed, suggesting that FGF is important in initiating limb buds.

Apoptosis is an important mechanism for sculpting morphology. However, themolecular cascades that control apoptosis in developing limb buds remain largely unclear. Here, we show that MafB was specifically expressed in apoptotic regions of chick limb buds, and MafB/cFos heterodimers repressed apoptosis, whereas MafB/cJun heterodimers promoted apoptosis for sculpting the shape of the limbs. Chrom...
متن کاملHox-4 gene expression in mouse/chicken heterospecific grafts of signalling regions to limb buds reveals similarities in patterning mechanisms.
The products of Hox-4 genes appear to encode position in developing vertebrate limbs. In chick embryos, a number of different signalling regions when grafted to wing buds lead to duplicated digit patterns. We grafted tissue from the equivalent regions in mouse embryos to chick wing buds and assayed expression of Hox-4 genes in both the mouse cells in the grafts and in the chick cells in the res...
