Cell/Tissue Transplantation <strong>in</strong> Zebrafish 2711. To obta<strong>in</strong> a secondary axis with anterior head structures, it is essential to graftorganizer tissues halfway between the blastoderm marg<strong>in</strong> and the animal pole.When the <strong>in</strong>duc<strong>in</strong>g tissues are grafted near the blastoderm marg<strong>in</strong>, secondaryaxes are frequently <strong>in</strong>duced, but those axes lack anterior head structures (12,13).12. The fish organizer (embryonic shield) and mammalian COS7 cells transfectedwith Xenopus nogg<strong>in</strong> and chord<strong>in</strong> cDNAs (Nogg<strong>in</strong>/Chord<strong>in</strong> COS7) <strong>in</strong>duce secondaryaxes equally when transplanted at mid-blastula to early gastrula stage onthe ventral side of the fish embryo (Fig. 3E and Fig. 4E). However, these <strong>in</strong>duc<strong>in</strong>gtissues behave differently <strong>in</strong> terms of their contribution to the secondary axesproduced. Grafted embryonic shield contributes to the axial mesoderm and theventral part of the neural tube (13), whereas the Nogg<strong>in</strong>/Chord<strong>in</strong> COS7 shows nosign of self-differentiation but is present <strong>in</strong> a cell mass under the neural tube (Fig.4F; 15). No axial mesoderm is detectable <strong>in</strong> the secondary axis <strong>in</strong>duced by theNogg<strong>in</strong>/Chord<strong>in</strong> COS7.AcknowledgmentsWe would like to thank Dr. Etsuro Yamaha for critical advice dur<strong>in</strong>g thedevelopment of the yolk cell bisection and transplantation method and ProfessorAtsushi Kuroiwa for support<strong>in</strong>g our study.
