Fig. 7

Melanoblasts and iridoblasts share a mitfa+ bi-potent precursor. (A,B) Confocal image of a double-positive sox10:nls-eos/mitfa:gfp cell surrounded by mitfa:gfp cells, lateral view, anterior trunk, 24 hpf, 40x. (A) Unconverted, pre-UV exposure. (B) Photoconverted, post-UV exposure. (C) Bar graph: 72% of identified photoconverted cells acquire a melanophore fate; 28% of identified photoconverted cells acquire an iridophore fate (n = 144) Bars = s.d. (for all values see Table 4). (D–F) Photoconverted sox10:nls-eos/mitfa:gfp cell acquires melanophore fate, lateral view, anterior trunk, 48 hpf, 40x. (D) Brightfield. (E) Red channel. (F) Merged brightfield/red channel. (G–I) Photoconverted sox10:nls-eos/mitfa:gfp cell acquires iridophore fate, lateral view, anterior trunk, 48 hpf, 40x. (G) Incident light. (H) Red channel. (I) Merged incident/red channel. Scale bars: (A,B, D–I) 30 μm.
