Fig. S1 Antisense morpholino knockdown of pcdh2α results in neuronal cell death. A, TUNEL staining of a 24 hpf embryo injected with a 5 basepair mismatch morpholino showed low levels of cell death. B, A 24 hpf embryo injected with 4 ng of a splice-blocking morpholino directed against the pcdh2α constant exons resulted in a dramatic increase in cell death throughout the nervous system, similar to what was observed for the pcdh1α cluster. C, A dorsal view of the hindbrain of a 30 hpf embryo showed extensive cell death in the hindbrain. D, Injection of 4 ng of either MO2.1 (n = 546) or MO2.2 (n = 305) yielded the cell death phenotype in > 90% of embryos. Injection of 4 ng of a 5 basepair mismatch control morpholino did not result in cell death (n = 56).
