Fig. 5 Cell proliferation during ontogenetic growth in wild-type and sof^b123 caudal fins. Wild-type and sof^b123 fish were labeled with BrdU for 6 h. BrdU-positive cells are labeled in red. The bracket indicates the region from which cells were counted, n indicates the number of BrdU-positive cells in this particular fin ray (note: all BrdU-positive cells are not in this focal plane). Left: wild-type fin ray showing BrdU-labeled cells. On average, 32 ± 5 cells are labeled in the third fin ray from either lobe (n = 10 fins). Right: sof^b123 fin ray showing BrdU-labeled cells. On average, 21 ± 3 cells are labeled in the third fin ray from either lobe (n = 10 fins).
