Expression of SciSoxL1 and SciSoxL2. SciSoxL1 is strongly expressed in the oocytes (A) and during cleavage (B); in pre-inversion stage embryos the expression is limited to cruciform cells (cc) (C); the transcripts are also present in the choanocytes (D). SciSoxL2 is strongly expressed in oocytes (E) and cleavage stage embryos (F); in pre-inversion stage embryos expression in the macromeres (asterisk) is higher than in the micromeres and is undetectable in the cruciform cells (cc) (G); the transcripts are also present in choanocytes and a fraction of mesohyle cells (H). A and E - thick slices of sponge containing oocytes. B - isolated mid-cleavage stage embryo. F - thick slice of sponge containing cleavage stage embryos. C, G - isolated pre-inversion stage embryos. D, H - oscular parts of young sponges.
