Fig. 5 Apoptosis and proliferation in lmx1b.1:GFP-positive cells following loss of Lmx1b function. (A) Immunoreactivity for activated Caspase-3 (red) and fluorescence for lmx1b.1:GFP^mw11 (green) in control MO or (B) lmx1bdMO ocular cryosections at 36 hpf. Arrows indicate cells positive for both activated Caspase-3 and lmx1b.1:GFP, while arrows indicate GFP-negative apoptotic cells. (C) Immunoreactivity for phosphoHistone (red) and fluorescence for lmx1b.1:GFP^mw11 (green) in control MO or (D) lmx1bdMO ocular cryosections at 36 hpf. Arrows indicate cells positive for both activated phosphoHistone-3 and lmx1b.1:GFP, while arrows indicate GFP-negative mitotic periocular cells. Dotted lines indicate position of the lens. Images shown are from representative sections (n = 24 total embryos for each condition from 2 experiments).
