| Method |
"A typical Western blot is shown in
Fig. 5 a in Fig. 5 b, the quantification of five different experiments
that represent a total of 400 embryos per time point is
plotted. [Researchers] calibrate the blot to known quantities of green
fluorescent protein to determine the absolute number of Bcd
molecules in the embryo." |
| Comments |
"The number of molecules continues
to increase until cycle 14, at which time point [researchers] find a total of
1.5±0.2?10^8 Bcd molecules in the embryo." |
