Alcian-blue staining of the cartilaginous skeleton of embryonic chicken wings

A - C Control wings.

A1 - C1 Wings after injection of Wnt6-CHO cells at HH-stage 20-21 and 4 days reincubation.

  • Skeletal elements are shorter in length compared to the control wings.
  • A1 to C1 illustrate increasingly severe defects depending on the quantity and spreading of injected cells
    • A1 being the mildest - only the humerus is affected.
    • B1 stylopod and zeugopod are affected.
    • C1 being the severest phenotype - the entire limb is affected.

Scale bar 500 μm.
