Cxcr7 Modifies the Sdf1-Signaling Gradient across the Primordium at the Tissue Level
(A) Single confocal slices through mosaic primordia in live 36 hpf embryos of the indicated genotypes.
(B) Quantification of mean FmemRed/FmemGreen of host cells (black dots, gray bars SEM) and donor cells (red dots, light-red bars SEM) across the anterior-posterior axis of primordia shown in (A).
(C) FmemRed/FmemGreen ratio on the host cells only across wild-type-wild-type and cxcr7 deficient-wild-type chimeric primordia containing the Sdf1-signaling sensor. The front of the primordium is at 0 μm. Gray bars indicate SEM.
(D) Position of mosaic primordia compared to cxcr7b mutant (black rectangles) and wild-type primordia (white rectangle). The amount (heat map in μm3) and position of clonal tissue across 150 μm from the front of the schematized primordia is indicated.
