Neither iridoblast nor melanoblast markers co-localize with xanthoblast markers. (A–L) Confocal images collected from lateral aspect of anterior tail region of fixed zebrafish, 20x. (A–C,M) Wild-type embryo reveals that csf1r signal is not localized with pnp4a expression at 24 hpf (A) csf1r (B) pnp4a. (C) Color merged: green: csf1r mRNA, red: pnp4a mRNA (inset 40x). (D–F,N) Wild-type embryo reveals that aox3 signal is not localized with pnp4a expression at 24 hpf (D) aox3 (E) pnp4a. (F) Color merged: green: aox3 mRNA, red: pnp4a mRNA (inset 40x). (G–I) Wild-type embryo reveals that csf1r signal is not localized with dct expression at 24 hpf (G) csf1r (H) dct. (I) Color merged: green: csf1r mRNA, red: dct mRNA (inset 40x). (J–L) Wild-type embryo reveals that aox3 signal is not localized with dct expression at 24 hpf (J) aox3 (K) dct. (L) Color merged: green: aox3 mRNA, red: dct mRNA (inset 40x). (M,N) Percent of overlap between chromatoblast markers (see Tables 2 and 3). (M) Green line = % of csf1r+ cells that are pnp4a+/csf1r+. Red line = % of pnp4a+ cells that are pnp4a+/csf1r+. (N) Green line = % of aox3+ cells that are pnp4a+/aox3+. Red line = % of pnp4a+ cells that are pnp4a+/aox3+. Scale bars: (A–L) 60 μm; (C,F,I,L inset) 30 μm. |
