Chapter 15, Problem 6RA
Summary Introduction

To determine:

The true statement among the given options about Fab (fragment of antigen binding) regions of antibodies.

Introduction:

Antibodies are the main components of an immune system. They can potently bind with the antigens. The antibody has a Fab region, which is the antigenbinding site for an antibody. The antibody also has an Fc (fragment of crystallization) region, which allows the antibody to activate the immune system.

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.
