Hgf and Met expression patterns in chicken embryos. Hgf (a-c) and Met (d-f) expression pattern in chicken embryos at stage 17 (a, d), 18 (b, e) and 20 (c, f). Lateral views. Hgf is expressed in the whole forelimb bud, but not in the migration route of HBM precursors. Met expression was detected in the ventral part of dermomyotome and HBM precursors, and weakly in FLM precursors. cu, cucullaris muscle; ddm, dorsal part of dermomyotome; dm, dermomyotome; fl, forelimb bud; FLMp, forelimb muscle precursors; HBMp, hypobranchial muscle precursors; hy, hyoid arch; llpm, lateral part of lateral plate mesoderm; ma, mandibular arch; opc, optic cup; ot, otic vesicle; pa3, third pharyngeal arch; pcm, pericardium; vdm, ventral part of dermomyotome; vsfl, ventral surface of forelimb bud. Scale bars, 200 μm
