Isolation and tissue expression of Opn5 (neuropsin) genes from Danio rerio (zebrafish) and Xenopus laevis. by Tarttelin, E, Bellingham, J, Hankins, M, Foster, R, Lucas, R

Enhancer of split-related-2 mRNA shows cyclic expression during somitogenesis in Xenopus laevis by Blewitt, R

“…Many genes that regulate somitogenesis have been identified in chick and mouse, whereas considerably fewer are known in <em>Xenopus laevis</em>. The expression of Hairy/Enhancer of split-related genes is known to cycle during somitogenesis and provides a mechanism for the regular formation of somites. …”

Efficacy of tricaine methanesulfonate (MS-222) as an anesthetic agent for blocking sensory-motor responses in Xenopus laevis tadpoles. by Carlana Ramlochansingh, Francisco Branoner, Boris P Chagnaud, Hans Straka

“…This prompted us to evaluate the potency and dynamics of MS-222-induced effects on neuronal firing of sensory and motor nerves alongside a defined motor behavior in semi-intact in vitro preparations of Xenopus laevis tadpoles. Electrophysiological recordings of extraocular motor discharge and both spontaneous and evoked mechanosensory nerve activity were measured before, during and after administration of MS-222, then compared to benzocaine and a known paralytic, pancuronium. …”

Functional interaction between CFTR and the sodium-phosphate co-transport type 2a in Xenopus laevis oocytes. by Naziha Bakouh, Baya Chérif-Zahar, Philippe Hulin, Dominique Prié, Gérard Friedlander, Aleksander Edelman, Gabrielle Planelles

“…In the present study, we investigated if CFTR and the sodium-phosphate co-transporter type 2a (NPT2a) functionally interact after heterologous expression of both proteins in Xenopus laevis oocytes.<h4>Methodology/findings</h4>NPT2a was expressed alone or in combination with CFTR in X. laevis oocytes. …”

Amphibian (Xenopus laevis) Tadpoles and Adult Frogs Differ in Their Antiviral Responses to Intestinal Frog Virus 3 Infections by Kelsey A. Hauser, Julia C. Singer, Muhammad Riadul H. Hossainey, Tyler E. Moore, Emily S. Wendel, Amulya Yaparla, Namarta Kalia, Leon Grayfer

“…As interferon (IFN) cytokine responses represent a cornerstone of vertebrate antiviral immunity, it is pertinent that the tadpoles and adults of the anuran Xenopus laevis frog mount disparate IFN responses to FV3 infections. …”

Overland movement in African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis): empirical dispersal data from within their native range by F. André De Villiers, John Measey

The Expression of TALEN before Fertilization Provides a Rapid Knock-Out Phenotype in Xenopus laevis Founder Embryos. by Kei Miyamoto, Ken-Ichi T Suzuki, Miyuki Suzuki, Yuto Sakane, Tetsushi Sakuma, Sarah Herberg, Angela Simeone, David Simpson, Jerome Jullien, Takashi Yamamoto, J B Gurdon

“…Thus, we describe nearly complete gene knock-out phenotypes in Xenopus laevis F0 embryos. The presented method will help to accelerate the production of knock-out frogs since we can bypass an extra generation of about 1 year in Xenopus laevis. …”

pXOOY: A dual-function vector for expression of membrane proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Xenopus laevis oocytes by Victoria Amstrup Vold, Sebastian Glanville, Dan Arne Klaerke, Per Amstrup Pedersen

“…Therefore, they are frequently characterized in mammalian cells or in Xenopus laevis oocytes. To avoid generating two different plasmids, we here describe the construction of a dual-function plasmid, pXOOY, for membrane protein production in yeast and for electrophysiology in oocytes. pXOOY was constructed such that all elements required for oocyte expression were copied from the dual Xenopus-mammalian vector pXOOM and meticulously introduced into the high-yield yeast expression vector pEMBLyex4. pXOOY is thus designed to preserve the high yield of protein from pEMBLyex4 while simultaneously permitting in vitro transcription for expression in oocytes. …”
