expression. The experimental embryos exhibited a greater amount of shh staining in both the limb buds and craniofacial region than the control embryos. In the limb buds the domain of shh expression extended to the anterior portion of the limb bud, whereas in the controls shh was confined o the posterior portion of the limb buds. Both the control and experimental embryos show staining along the notochord (Figure 3).
