Abstract

The tail of Xenopus tadpole is an excellent model for appendage regeneration studies. We analyzed the distribution pattern of the transcription factor Xvent-2 mRNA and protein in the beginning of the regeneration of Xenopus tadpole tail stumps after amputation. We revealed the emergence of Xvent-2 mRNA and protein in regeneration bud during the first day after amputation. The data obtained confirm that soon after amputation of the part of the Xenopus tadpole tail, there occurs the emergence of a structure, to some extend, resembling the early embryonic tail bud.
