Summary Introduction

To determine:

The process by which the people can protect themselves from mosquito-borne pathogens, beside using repellents

Case summary:

An old man had reached at the doctor’s clinic in Ravenna, Italy. He suffered from combination of symptoms including widespread rashes, fever, nausea, and pain in joints. The scientists reported these symptoms as the emergence of chikungunya, which is related to equine encephalitis viruses. Chikungunya disease was more prevalent in the nations of Africa and the Indian Ocean. The Italian patient survived but his crippling pain lasted for several months. He now insists and promotes the use of mosquito repellant.

You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?
You decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.
You implant an FGF10-coated bead into the anterior flank of a chicken embryo, directly below the level of the wing bud. What is the phenotype of the resulting ectopic limb?  Briefly describe the expected expression domains of 1) Shh, 2) Tbx4, and 3) Tbx5 in the resulting ectopic limb bud.
