Summary Introduction

Strep throat and pneumococcal pneumonia are considered as the major streptococcal infections. The streptococcal strains often isolated from the upper respiratory tract of the humans. The major species in the group of A Streptococci are Streptococcus pyogenes, which is often isolated from the upper respiratory tract of the humans. It can cause serious infections, if the defense mechanism of the host is week or extremely virulent strain is encountered. Streptococcus pneumoniae is the second major streptococcal pathogen of the human being. It can cause intrusive lung infections, as secondary infections to the other respiratory syndromes. It causes community-acquired infections like pneumonia, otitis media, and bacteremia.

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.
