Abstract:
Reverse transcription and cDNA amplification (polymerase chain reaction) of total RNA preparations were used to characterize the expression of EGF mRNA in the mandibular arch of day 9-17 mouse embryos. EGF mRNA was present in mandibles at day 9 and 10 but not at days 11-17. Separate RNA preparations from epithelium and mesenchyme at day 10 revealed EGF mRNA in both components.
